The Best Hikes in Whitewater State Park

The Best Hikes in Whitewater State Park

The park has three main hiking trails, with a few smaller trails leading to the park’s more secluded parts. The hikes range in length and difficulty, from easy to strenuous. To hike all the trails in the park, you may want to spend a few nights at one of the hotels by Whitewater State Park.

  • 1. Meadow Trail

    This one-mile trail is the park’s shortest and easiest. It’s relatively flat and guides hikers along the scenic middle branch of the Whitewater River.

  • 2. Trout Run Creek Trail

    This two-mile hike is the most popular trail in the park for a good reason. The trail provides a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside before descending to a small creek popular with fisherman. The valley at the bottom of the trail has some of the best wildflowers in the park.

  • 3. Coyote Point Trail

    This fairly strenuous 3.15-mile trail has hundreds of steps and gets very steep in sections. At points, you’ll be walking along narrow edges next to sheer cliffs. Needless to say, you’ll need to be fit for this trail, and it’s not recommended for young children.
