Manager's Message
This is a wonderful time of year to spend some quality time outdoors. Be sure to take a map, compass, water and a cell phone with you on the trails. Remember that the Parks are wilderness areas and it can sometimes be easy to get turned around. Due to dry conditions some of the sandy trails may be strenuous. Please be especially careful as fire danger is very high. Remember, we do not allow pets in the camping area. Thank you for visiting and enjoy your time at Rock Springs Run State Reserve.
- Warren Poplin, Park Manager
