Nestled around a sprawling 260-acre lake, Fort Yargo State Park is a local favorite for a quick escape into nature. You can spend the day hiking or biking on over 20 miles of trails that wind through the woods and along the water, with options ranging from easy lakeside strolls to more challenging routes. For a more relaxed visit, pack a picnic and head to the sandy beach for a swim, or rent a kayak to explore the quiet coves of the lake. The park is built around a historic 1792 log fort, adding a touch of history to your outdoor adventure.
