It is quite pretty even to ride... More

It was really good, and my family had a really nice hike on the bottoms trail, which is 2 miles, but it was really hard to find everything, and it all seemed a little sprawled out. It was really good for a roadside stop, and we had ice cream at the lodge afterwards :) More

The State Park is full of wonderful trails for hiking, walking, or biking from flat to challenging. The Ruby Falls trail is particularly beautiful and worth the hike! More
