Hiking is a popular pastime for vacationers here, as the well-equipped park offers trails for all ability levels. The landscape includes a combination of river bottoms and foothills.

    This 0.75-mile basic hiking trail is accessible to hikers of all experience levels. About half an hour's walk will take you winding through the forest and up a rocky ridge. Begin your hike at the Wards Landing Camping Area, or combine this trail with the connected Lighthorseman Trail.

Lake Wister State Park is involved in this initiative, offering a lovely paved trail in the park that is wheelchair friendly. The Winding Stair Mountains serve as a beautiful backdrop to the lake, making your visit relaxing and memorable.
