What to Do in Turtle River State Park
In the years of the Great Depression, the Civilian Conservation Corps had built the Turtle River State Park, which is nestled in a picturesque and highly wooded valley. Being open all year long, the park is able to offer a delightful array of outdoor activities for every season.
One of the park’s nice features is its trails, which offer mountain biking and hiking in the spring and summer as well as trails specifically designed for winter use or, more specifically, cross country skiing.
Area Accommodations
Rates for primitive camping and RV camping with electricity hookups remain the same with other state parks at $12 and $15 respectively. Entrance fees are also the same at $5 per vehicle while annual permits are still at $25 per vehicle.
