Discover Higley Flow State Park

Description

The Higley Flow State Park provides trail access in all four seasons. In the spring/summer/fall the trails are all forest floor/dirt, grass with some woodchips in certain areas. The hiking trails double as cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. In the winter season, the campground roads are all groomed for classic skiing primarily but some portions when possible include a skate lane as well. 

The "woods trail" is not groomed, but accessible as backcountry skiing or snowshoeing.

Skis and snowshoes can be rented at the administrative building on the right as you enter the campground. Call ahead to confirm hours and availability. For daily status updates, visit the Friends of Higley Flow Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1130093983825530/.
