Nature Hikes at Haven Hill
We encourage you to come out to the park to enjoy the trails. We're looking forward to seeing you on the trail, at our historic structures, and at our yearly events.
Choose a short flatter hike along the scenic Cedar Creek Trail during the day or night, or arrive during the day for a longer scenic hilly hike!
Come enjoy free guided Nature Hikes in Highland State Recreation Area and the beautiful Haven Hill Natural Area. Journey through portions of the state park and Haven Hill Natural Area to see the waters, wildlife, and forests of this special natural preserve. Hikes can be slow-paced to enjoy nature and the forest textures and colors with plenty of opportunities for taking photos.
The trails traverse through woods and hills and alongside Haven Hill Lake. Interesting information can be learned such as some history of the park, the importance of controlled burns, and why leaves turn color in the fall. Look for turtles, frogs and possibly a water snake or two as you cross the Haven Hill lake dam.
Children and dogs welcome. Be sure to bring plenty of water (even if it's not warm outside) and wear shoes with good tread - they will keep you and your feet happy. Consider sun screen and insect repellents too.
Cost: Hikes are free and a Recreation Passport is required for the State park entry. No RSVP required, just show up and have fun! Watch for future opportunities to enjoy guided hikes at Haven Hill.
