Best Hiking Trails in Shades State Park

Best Hiking Trails in Shades State Park

Shades State Park is home to beautiful natural scenery, while its high sandstone bluffs offer spectacular views across the surrounding area. Thanks to the park's network of hiking trails, visitors can explore as much or as little of Shades State Park as they want.

  • 1. Trail 2

    This one-mile trail is only for serious hikers, as the route requires you to hike along the Pearl Ravine streambed – an area which can be impassable when the water level is high. The path starts at the Lover's Leap viewpoint, where you can take some great souvenir photos of Sugar Creek and the surrounding forest.

  • 2. Trail 5

    A slightly easier trail, although you will still need to use steps and even ladders in order to access some parts of Kintz Ravine. The trail then climbs to a viewpoint overlooking the Kintz and Frisz Ravines.

  • 3. Trail 6

    If you aren't an experienced hiker, head for Trail 6, a pleasant and much easier stroll along the length of Red Fox Ravine.

  • 4. Back-Pack Trail

    A longer trail of around 2.5 miles which takes visitors on a relatively flat route through the pleasant wooded areas of Shades State Park.
