Table Rock State Park is named for the towering mountain that has stood as an iconic landmark for centuries. Within this special forested watershed exists a diversity of plant and animal life, cold-water streams, mountain geology and historic resources. We invite you and your students to visit our park and participate in an educational experience to increase your knowledge and appreciation of these special treasures. This hands-on learning approach can take place along a forest trail or within a mountain creek. The park’s 3,083 acres offers over 12 miles of hiking trails, two recreational lakes, four picnic shelters, three camping areas, 14 rental cabins and a historic lodge.
