Mount Gilead State Park, State park with lakes in Mount Gilead, United States.
Mount Gilead State Park spans 181 acres, featuring two connected lakes covering 32 acres and six miles of hiking trails through beech-maple forests.
The park's development began in the early 1900s with a dam across Sam's Creek, followed by a second lake in 1930 before official designation in 1949.
The surrounding Mount Gilead area functioned as a strategic location on the Underground Railroad network during the 19th century freedom movement.
The campground provides 59 electrical hookup sites, including 22 full-service spots with water and sewer connections, plus shower facilities and laundry services.
The park's lakes permit only electric motor boats and offer specialized facilities like ADA accessible canoes, kayaks, and a 200-seat outdoor amphitheater.
