| Beauty & quiet, that is the essence of Carley State Park. In the spring, delicate bluebells (Mertensia virginica), & other wildflowers carpet the valley with a profusion of color. Hike along the trail that follows the Whitewater River & take in the grand old white pines. Listen for the sweet song of orioles, song sparrows, house wrens, & indigo buntings. Enjoy the picnic area, play on the swings or practice softball. Try your hand at horseshoes or sit back & see a red-tailed hawk ride thermals in the sky. The north branch of the Whitewater River is a designated trout stream & provides habitat for brown trout. Rustic campsites are located near the picnic area. |
