Lace up those hiking boots – you’re gonna need ‘em! Ledges State Park offers more than 13 miles of hiking trails. Enjoy the picturesque Canyon Road Trail which leads you straight through the heart of the park and offers stunning views of the sandstone cliffs and winding creek below. If you’re up for a more challenging trek, the Lost Lake Trail takes hikers on a scenic journey through dense woodlands and along the shores of a tranquil lake, and gives opportunities for birdwatching and wildlife viewing along the way.
If you love to fish, cast your line into Pea’s Creek or the Des Moines River in search of bass, catfish, and panfish. Enjoy a picnic at one of the park’s many scenic picnic areas nestled among the trees. And don’t miss out on the stone bridge!
