Join us for a pleasant and surprisingly accessible 10-mile hike at Fort Parker State Park. The trails are fairly easy, with minimal elevation gain, making this an ideal hike for those looking for a steady workout without tackling anything too rugged.
After we wrap up our trek, we’ll head over to Billy B’s Sale Barn Cafe to refuel with some of the best country fried chicken around - and don’t miss the famous fried pickles! It’s the perfect way to end a relaxing day on the trails with great food and good company.
Whether you’re looking for a scenic stroll or a casual challenge, this hike combines accessible terrain with a tasty reward at the finish line.
