Nestled around Turtle River and rolling hills, Turtle River State Park boasts of untouched beauty and wild oak groves. As the name suggest, the park and its surroundings are home to many unique species of wildlife, such as mud and snapping turtles. Spectacular sunsets reveal scenic meadows and wildflowers.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed many buildings during the great depression that offer a woodland lodge. With a conference facility, fishing, trails for skiers and cyclist and campsites for both groups and individuals, there is something for everyone.
