Activities at Three Rivers State Park

BicyclingBicyclists can ride on several miles of paved park roads, encountering moderate elevation changes along the way. |

Boat RampThere are two small boat ramps within the park, suitable for smaller watercraft. One ramp is located within the campground, for use by registered campers only. The other ramp is located close to the picnic area, for general use by park visitors. There are also two county-maintained boat ramps that will accommodate larger craft; one of these ramps is found on the eastern boundary of the park, the other is found on the western boundary of the park. |

BoatingThree Rivers State Park borders on scenic Lake Seminole. The lake tends to be shallow in many areas, with considerable aquatic vegetation. Old tree stumps also are found throughout the lake. We find most of our seasoned boaters prefer shallow draft boats for these reasons. |

Cabins
A one bedroom, one bathroom log cabin with air conditioning, heating and a wood-burning fireplace overlooks Lake Seminole. A queen size bed in a downstairs bedroom and two smaller beds in the loft provide comfortable sleeping accommodations. A fully equipped kitchen includes an electric stove, microwave, refrigerator and utensils. Bring linens, pillows, food and fishing gear.
There is a minimum two nights stay in cabins on weekends and holidays, either Friday and Saturday night, or Saturday and Sunday nights. A single Friday or Saturday night may be reserved only if the following Saturday or Sunday night is already reserved. |

Wildlife ViewingWildlife and bird viewing opportunities are bountiful at Three Rivers State Park! Bald Eagles make their nests within the park, and can be seen soaring over the lake. Waterfowl by the hundreds seek refuge in the quiet bays and sloughs that surround the park. Deer are a very common sight, along with the ubiquitous raccoon and our own population of eastern fox squirrels. These large squirrels are a sight to behold, with silvery white fur, often with a mask of black covering their faces. Many species of rare or uncommon plants can also be found throughout the park. |
