Chewacla State Park offers a tranquil escape from the everyday, whether you're planning a short visit or a longer stay. They provide comfortable, modern campsites and several rental cabins at reasonable rates. While there's a small entrance fee per person, the park's serene atmosphere makes it well worthwhile. The park features extensive hiking and biking trails surrounding a large lake (26 acres), and fishing is permitted. Bring your kayak or canoe! There's also a skateboard park, numerous picnic areas with grills and pavilions, and a recently constructed playground. We particularly enjoy the beach area for swimming and high diving, which also offers convenient restrooms and changing facilities. My family and I have been coming to the park for decades and we've never been disappointed. Just a casual hike down the nature trails, discovering waterfalls and eagles' nests, is revitalizing.

Love this park!! Good walking trails, leashed dogs allowed. Great for biking, too! I came recently and released a groundhog here that I found at my house (called and got permission first)

This park is great and has a ton of trails to explore. The lake is beautiful. I would be a little cautious with the map they give you. There are many trails that are not on the map and you will get a little confused. The trails are well cared for and offer a wonderful view of the creeks. There are plenty of places to hide from the general traffic. Most people hang out at the main waterfall, but there are many other places to go that offer a little peace and serenity. The multi-use trails can be a little intimidating when several bicyclists are coming your way. I pick up a lot of trash on the trails as well. Many people have no shame and throw their garbage on the trails or by the main waterfall. Overall, it is a great place for a decent hike. It has a lot of trails that have a significant amount of incline to get your heart rate up.

I visited the park with hiking in mind. I was impressed with the number of trails and the overall distance offered. There was a primary waterfall that was man-made, but my preference was on Hidden Falls that took a little bit more distance to get to, but definitely more natural and inviting. I visited during the winter time and could imagine what a great Blue Hole this would be in the summertime at Hidden falls. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 because of the aging roads, closed bathrooms, and other facility closures.
