Mill Bluff State Park
Nature and Hiking Trails

The Nature Trail begins at the far end of the east picnic area. This .4-mile-long trail is a self-guiding. Hikers will learn about wildlife, trees, wildflowers and geology. Part of this trail is accessible for people with disabilities. A historical marker here describes the geological features of the area.

For the more ambitious, stone steps wind their way to the top of the bluff. In the mid 1930s, the Work Progress Administration (WPA) built 223 stone steps that lead to the top of Mill Bluff, where an observation deck on the north end offers an excellent view of the park and the surrounding area.

About .8 mile north of I 90-94 on Funnel Road is Camel's Bluff Trail, a 1.25-mile hiking trail loop. A small parking lot is there.

Please stay on the designated trails!
