A cozy state park at just 541 acres, Trough Creek State Park packs a whole lot of scenic punch into its relatively small size.
The 1.6-mile trail has earned a moderate rating due to its rocky and sometimes rough terrain. Your best bet is to start at the park office, if it's open, to pick up a paper map.
This is one of those trails where you definitely don't want to forget your camera or have waning batteries. You'll pass a gushing waterfall and cross over a picturesque footbridge.
Even if you visit in the spring or in the summer, make a point to stop back in the fall. The bridge is absolutely spellbinding when framed by the rustic colors.
Another of the trail's main highlights is the massive boulder - Balanced Rock. You'll also find scenic overlooks that offer sweeping views of the park.
