Beaver Creek Valley State Park
Beaver Creek Valley State Park streams are home to brown and native brook trout, and are fed by the “Big Spring.” The hiking trails are great for wildflower enthusiasts and birdwatchers alike (migratory songbirds like the rare Acadian flycatcher, Cerulean warbler, and Louisiana waterthrush nest here). Great for camping as well, including drive-in, electric, walk-in, and group camp sites. For more information, visit the website.
