Constructed in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), Turtle River State Park is located in a beautiful, wooded valley along the meandering Turtle River. The park features year-round recreational activities, including camping, picnicking, hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and sledding.

Park guests enjoy shaded picnic areas and secluded camping sites. There are over 12 miles of trails carved through the forested hills and along the Turtle River. Anglers can also practice their fly fishing techniques in the trout-stocked river.

Perfect for weddings, family reunions and other group activities is the spacious Woodland Lodge, with its kitchen and dining hall. The upstairs of the Chalet/Warming House is also available to rent for just about any type of group function. The CCC Memorial Shelter offers a picturesque setting and is popular for wedding and large group picnics.
