Highland Forest County Park

"Lovely park. Almost a well kept secret. Views to die for and miles of trails with varied vegetation and terrain. A true gem for hikers when you only have a short while to enjoy nature."

"The skyline lodge is great for weddings in summer. Nice deck and great views. In the winter there are plenty of cross country ski trails to get your exercise in."

"Nice country atmosphere. Agency retreat with approximately 100 staff present. Nice conference room and they allowed food to be catered in. A lot of ways to relax mostly enjoying the scenic view sitting out on the deck. Absolutely amazing! Walking the forest trails, horseback riding or just being in comfort inside the building. Love it here!"

"We love coming here and hiking around. The trails are well marked, but be sure to have a map just in case. The main trail at one point passes a lean-to and crosses a stream. In the stream there are some cool rocks and if you are interested in rocks or fossils, take a look. Some people leave interesting ones on the picnic table near the lean-to. Be sure to watch your step, as the stream is hoke to little critters that can be hard to see, and we don't want to be disrupting them too much. Past that point in the trail you will eventually go through a couple forest shifts from mostly pine trees, to lush warm green trees. If you keep your voice down you can hear an occasional raven or see some deer or other animals on the trail."

"Many beautiful trails! You can rent horses too! Sits on a mountain top. Lodge has a multitude of old photos of the farming. A pioneer museum you can view by appointment. Beautiful place!"
