    Hiking

    Ready for a hike? The peaceful shade under Cathedral State Park’s dense leafy canopies, accentuated with rhododendrons, birdsong and a mountain stream, creates a serene atmosphere visitors are sure to enjoy. Hikers can amble along the park’s three miles of trails and see an abundance of plant and tree species as well as wildlife creatures.

    Museums and Historical Sites

    Valley Falls State Park is rich in both flowing water and history. The nearby Prickett’s Fort State Park is a living history museum. Costumed interpreters, trade workshops, and tours bring the 18th century to life.

    Picnicking

    Grab your picnic blanket and basket! Picnickers can enjoy outdoor dining in the park’s picnic area, which has two shelters, a playground area and restrooms. Shelters are available for advance reservation. Note: Restrooms are winterized beginning October 1 and close for the season.
