Trails

Chewacla State Park has eight hiking trails in varying degrees of difficulty, a mountain bike trail, and a tree identification trail.[1]

The Sweet Shrub Trail features some interpretative displays and begins at the Lower Shelter, makes a loop and returns to the Lower Shelter. The Boy Scout Trail begins on the west side of the stone bridge and runs into the Sweet Shrub Trail. The Troop 30 Boy Scout Trail begins on the north side of the stone bridge on Murphy Drive. This trail follows Moore’s Mill Creek to the boundary of the park. It may be followed to the park boundary or the creek may be crossed on one of the rock dams to follow the trail back to Murphy Drive. The Eagle Scout Trail branches off from the Troop 30 Boy Scout Trail on the east side of Chewacla Lake and terminates on the logging road across from the Walnut Shelter. The Deer Rub Trail features steep terrain and begins at the Upper Pavilion and follows Chewacla Creek to the Walnut Shelter. The Loop Road Trail leads to Chewacla Falls and is a paved trail. The Mountain Laurel Trail begins at the Upper Pavilion area, goes down to Chewacla Falls and then follows Chewacla Lake. The Mountain Bike Trail loops around the upper portion of Murphy Drive.[1]

Lodging

The park has six renovated Civilian Conservation Corps-era stone cabins featuring hardwood floors, stone fireplaces, bathrooms, and modern kitchens. Cabins have central heating and cooling systems. The cabins are available year around and require reservations.[2]
