About this adventure

Designated as a National Natural Landmark, Panola Mountain State Park preserves a pristine 100-acre granite monadnock that has remained virtually undisturbed for centuries. While the mountain core is protected for conservation research, the park provides accessible hiking trails, scenic boardwalks, and a peaceful winter lakeside setting for families. The 0.75-mile Outcrop Trail winds past mossy forests and exposed granite flats, featuring interpretive signs and wooden viewing platforms overlooking rare plant communities. Paved multi-use paths connect smoothly into the regional PATH system, offering miles of smooth, level strolling, running, or cycling through scenic winter woodlands.
