Located in Highland County, Paint Creek State Park has made some improvements to its facilities to offer more summer fun for visitors! There are a few new surprises, too!
As in the past, swimming at the 1000 foot beach, and camping are offered with cleaner restrooms and changing houses available. New pontoon boats and deep-bottom boats are also available for those wishing to fish. Hunting is also permitted at the park - license required. Campsites have been updated and provide options for pets! Four long walking trails, over 25 miles of bridle trails, and mountain bike trails invite everyone to enjoy the scenic park lands. A nature center shares a wealth of information with visitors. New to the park this year is a miniature golf course and coming soon - a playground!
On a related topic, those visiting the park are reminded to be safe and cautious with any outdoor activities. One activity that several have been injured from is cliff diving. In an effort to maintain safety at the park, Paint Creek has officially banned cliff diving. This risky behavior is not encouraged or allowed at the park. Fines and unspecified prison time could result. Kite tubing (inflatable devices designed to become airborne when pulled behind high-speed boats) has also been banned at the park. Officials encourage park visitors to engage in fun and safe activities for the summer season!
The Dickey Group encourages everyone to visit and enjoy the local parks! These natural resources provide many fun opportunites for adults and children of all ages!
