Beaver Creek Valley State Park

Beaver Creek Valley State Park is a natural area in Houston County featuring rolling terrain, deep ravines, and forests of maple and oak trees. Limestone outcrops and creeks run through the landscape, creating varied scenery across the grounds.

This area was developed in 1937 through a Civilian Conservation Corps project that built trails and facilities during the Great Depression. The initiative made the natural landscape accessible to the public.

Throughout the year, educational programs highlight local wildlife species and conservation methods for visitors of all ages.

The park offers more than 10 miles of marked trails and over 40 campsites for tents and recreational vehicles. Routes suit various fitness levels and can be used throughout the year.

During winter months, the snow-covered landscape becomes a destination for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing beneath thick tree cover. The season offers a completely different way to experience the terrain.
