I attended The Wild Women Retreat as my first experience at Little Buffalo, and I can't to return with my kiddos. I keep hearing the pool is really nice. My experience included kayaking lessons and a nature hike through the woods. The lessons were thorough and well-done, and I feel like if I had to kayak, I could do it now. We even saw bald eagles and turtles on the lake during the class. I definitely want to come back to this hidden gem!

Beautiful park! Took a day trip with my parents to go hiking. Very easy to navigate. Good bathrooms. The trails were clearly marked and matched the level of difficulty. The grist mill was a lot of fun to see and I highly recommend stopping by to hear more about it from the staff.

Where are the cross county ski trails?

Karin Guerrini | Feb 17, 2021
Tim Heffley | Feb 18, 2021

All hiking trails in Little Buffalo State Park are open for cross-country skiing, but skiing is recommended on Little Buffalo Creek Trail. A 2.5-mile loop can be skied by taking Little Buffalo Creek Trail to Main Picnic Area, then ski the Newport and Sherman’s Valley Railroad trace. Return to Little Buffalo Creek Trail along the edge of woods. A popular loop in East Picnic Area starts in the parking lot and follows the path to Clay’s Covered Bridge. The trail passes Shoaff’s Mill then returns to the starting point on either Mill Race Trail or the shorter service road. Skiing is also permitted on service roads and unplowed roads in the day use area.

Can you hike the trails at night?

Aliya Hill | Dec 14, 2020
Emily Burt-hedrick | Dec 15, 2020

Park closes at sundown, so no. But right now sundown is pretty late...hike until sundown. I would avoid being on the more difficult trails, Middle Ridge and Buffalo Ridge trails, at dusk, since they are rocky and you need to watch carefully as you walk.
