                                            WHITE PINES STATE PARK AND LODGE

 

The park has something to offer everyone of all ages.  Take a hike on one of the many beautiful trails filled with lush pine trees and view the limestone bluffs while breathing in the fresh country air and pine scent.  Stroll across the bridges that cross the scenic Pine Creek that meanders through the park.  Use one of the many picnic areas located in the park; some areas have picnic shelters where you can cook over a live fire.  Drive through the water in the fords that cross the rambling Pine Creek.  Drop a line in the creek and take a nap while fishing for the many varieties of fish you’ll find.  Camp in one of the spacious campgrounds in the park.  Children will enjoy the playground by the log cabin lodge, restaurant, and gift shop located at the top of the hill in the center of the park.  Enjoy an old fashioned stay in one of the many log cabins for a truly unforgettable night or weekend.  And, to top off your stay, let the staff serve you with mouth watering meals, making your stay at the park one to remember.  You’ll want to do some shopping in the gift shop where you’ll find something for everyone, including great gifts for any occasion.  If you are planning a wedding, there’s no better place to get married than at the Pines Park Inn or the Wedding Canyon where the staff will help you with all your plans.  Wedding, reception, and honeymoon lodging all in one great package!

 

Once you’ve visited this truly unique park, you’ll want to return often.
