Brown County State Park Hiking Trails

leaves Welcome to Brown County State Park! For those who wish to see this unique park on foot, a variety of well-marked trails are available. Over21 miles of hiking trails travel over steep, forested hills and through shady ravines. The roadless, southwestern and eastern parts of the park can be visited only by foot or on horseback.
Special Features
Ogle Hollow Nature Preserve, within the park, features a self-guiding trail (Trail 5) providing information about natural aspects of the area. A self-guiding history tour follows portions of Trails 2 and 3. MP3 players for this tour are available for checkout at the front desk of the Abe Martin Lodge.
How You can Help
You can help us keep our trails enjoyable for future hikers by informing the park office of any unsafe trail conditions or obstacles you may encounter. If you are interested in volunteering to help with maintenance on our park trails, please contact the property manager or park naturalist for more information.
