Current River State Park

Current River State Park spans 1,200 acres along the Current River, featuring two small lakes, woodland areas, and nine miles of hiking trails.

The land operated as the Alton Club, a corporate retreat for the Alton Box Board Company during the 1930s and 1940s before becoming a state park in 2008.

The buildings within the park represent the architectural design methods used by the National Park Service in the early twentieth century.

The park opens during weekends in warm weather months, offering guided tours of historic buildings, picnic areas, and opportunities for fishing in the lakes.

The park maintains its original 1930s structures, which earned recognition in the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
