Things to Do at The Hugh Taylor Birch State Park

There are plenty of activities to enjoy, wildlife to encounter, picnic areas to relax at, and so much more. Below, you can learn more about the different activities offered at this beautiful state park.
Biking
This state park is popular for bikers, as the park drive is about two miles long. Though there aren’t trails specifically designated for bikers, many of the trails do accommodate bikers. Some trails are one way, so it’s important to watch out for those signs. Bike rentals are available in the area if you don’t bring your own.
