Scenic Vistas

There are two seasonal scenic overlooks in the park on the Tadler Run Loop Trail. Beartown Rocks is a popular nearby overlook in Clear Creek State Forest.

Do Not Feed Wildlife

Black bears are native to this area. All food should be put away after use and kept in a tight, secure container in the trunk of a car or in a camper.

Feeding wildlife is prohibited. When wildlife loses its fear of people, they can become pests, and dangerous situations can result.

Learn, Experience, Connect

Through hands-on activities, guided walks, and evening programs, participants gain appreciation, understanding, and develop a sense of stewardship toward natural and cultural resources.

Programs are offered spring through fall.

Curriculum-based environmental education programs are available to schools and youth groups. Teacher workshops are available.

Group programs must be scheduled in advance by calling the park office.

A nature museum with logging and nature exhibits is open spring through fall.

The Ox Shoe Trail is self-guiding, takes one hour to hike, and reveals the logging history of the area.
