Big Sugar Creek State Park

"Literally in the middle of nowhere. I thought we were lost. There’s no office, check in building ect. just a parking lot. I think there’s a bathroom building but I didn’t go inside. GPS took me to a location in the middle of the road but we kept driving and found the parking lot. It has been very dry here and the creek beds are dried up. We started on the outside loop and did the cross through trail. This area was hit hard by severe storms and the white path has many fallen trees in it so we had to go around. I’d definitely come back here after a good rain and when things are green and blooming. Would be nice if they could do a clean up of the fallen trees. There are also several trees marked as dangerous."

"I thoroughly enjoyed the hiking available at Big Sugar Creek! Took the eastern half of the loop and the shortcut back along the ridge-top on a clear day in March, and the scenery was lovely. Woods with thin undergrowth that has been managed by fire, rolling hills, interesting rock outcroppings, wildflowers, and utter quiet except for the forest sounds and the wind. Very nice and worth a visit!"

"Just a beautiful, off-the-beaten-path State Park. No Park office. Just a two-whole outhouse. The trail was well cared for. No trash. Quiet as can be. Just birds, babbling water, and blessed serenity!"

"A moderately steep, strenuous and secluded 3.4 mile single track hiking loop trail with multiple wet weather creek crossings."

"Early October, no ticks just a few mosquitoes. We saw a large black racer and an armadillo along the trail! There are a lot of newly downed trees so we had to navigate around those. The water was all dried up so no waterfalls but it was very pretty with all the leaves changing color. Not an easy hike but I really enjoyed the challenge. I recommend finding a nice stick and using it like a wand to keep free from walking into spider webs."
