Millersylvania State Park

Over 8 miles of intersecting trails wind through old growth forest, meadows, and lake shore allowing visitors to chose the length of their hike.
Most of the trails could be made accessible fairly easily however it seems this was not a consideration when planning. We found very narrow boardwalks without any edge guards. Ramps from the ground to the boardwalks are steep and most boardwalks ends do not meet the ground evenly. We walked/rolled about three miles along the route marked in green on the map. Aside from the narrow ramps we also encountered a very steep hill leading to the western most loop trails and a short hill near the park headquarters. For all of these reasons I don't recommend these trails for wheelchair users.
We parked at the small craft launch lot which has plenty of room for RVs. Park  46.90988, -122.91583

  1. Such a shame officials are so narrow-sighted that they don't plan for everyone (and I mean everyone!) to enjoy their park trails. Sure looked pretty nice from your pictures. Glad you guys are far enough north to stay cool!

    1. They could be fixed so easily too. We are enjoying the weather here but it's getting time for us to head east.
      Hope Jimmy is healing well!
