Nerstrand-Big Woods State Park

Nerstrand Big Woods State Park offers well-marked, well-maintained trails through mature hardwood forest, with both short and longer route options leading to Hidden Falls. The waterfall's flow varies with recent rainfall, so it may be a trickle at times. The park has convenient parking, restrooms, a playground, and friendly ranger staff. Campsites are small and shaded under trees, making for a cozy experience, though the campground is limited in size. Popular areas can become busy on weekends or holidays, and some trail surfaces include crushed rock; dogs are generally allowed. Overall a peaceful woodland retreat with practical amenities.
