This 1,339-acre state park offers 6 miles of trails spanning all difficulty levels, so visitors can enjoy an afternoon of leisurely bird-watching or take a strenuous hike. The most popular trail is the 2.6-mile Lake Trail, which circles the lake’s circumference and provides great lookouts for viewing local wildlife, such as wild turkeys, white-tailed deer, owls, and blue herons. There’s also an aviary, open to the public on Wednesdays and Saturdays, where injured birds of prey are rehabilitated and cared for.
