Big Ridge State Park
Length: 1.5 miles
Rating: Easy
This 1.5 mi. easy to moderate trail meanders along 45 acre Big Ridge Lake
and across Big Ridge Dam which was constructed in the 1930's by the
Civilian Conservation Corp, the young men responsible for building many of
the structures in the park. To one side of the dam is Big Ridge Lake, to
the other is Norris Lake. This trail is an excellent one for viewing
wildlife such as deer, frogs, heron, wood ducks and much more. If you
like, you can also make a stop at the Snodderly Cemetery where many of the
area's earlier inhabitants are buried.
