Participants of all ages are welcome! Images MUST be taken at the park. One submission per person. It all started with activities on March 31 st for the Open House celebrations. Kids explored the park by participating in a scavenger hunt. Families were able to take a nature hike and wet a line at the fishing derby. The whole day was a great success and will continue to grow in the coming years. Jefferson Elementary brought students out to the park in May for a day of fun and outdoor learning. Students played disc golf, fished, and channeled their inner Robin Hood on the Archery range. They also learned about local wildlife and flora while on a guided nature hike. The annual OK Kids Day took place in May. Families participated in a fishing derby and clay target shooting with shotguns. In October, Jefferson Elementary returned for an Amazing Race inspired event. Students competed in activities including tent building, trivia, blind tastetesting, and various races. The activities were designed to teach the kids teamwork while also giving them skills such has using a hammer and building a fire. All the running around helped get the students some exercise without them realizing it. Many other schools and organizations visited the park throughout the year. The park is great outdoor classroom for students of all ages. Fishing, golf, disc golf, and hiking are just some of activities available.

8 PAGE 8 ORMS: A New Way to Reserve! Outdoor Recreation Management System: In April of 2012, the state park system began using Reserve America to manage campsite reservations. Frequent patrons of Federal parks may already be familiar with the website. As with any switch to a new system, there were growing pains. However, going into the second year, the benefits of the program are very apparent. Campsite Availability Website visitors can see which sites are available for any date. Campsite Features Size, cost, amenities, location, and even a picture accompany the listing Reservations Visitors can make reservations at their convenience (not all sites are Reservable) Try it; If you plan on camping at a state park and have not already registered, go to or Registration is free and signing up before your trip greatly speeds up check in times.

9 ELK CITY SPRING 2013 PAGE 9 Elk City State Park Trail System Elk City State Park offers multiple trails for visitors to use based on their skill, interest, or time. The goal is to provide users an enjoyable and safe experience regardless of ability. Seasonal changes ensure each trip will be unique. The South Squaw Trail is a paved path that takes walkers down to the original state park area. The open fields and marshes provide excellent opportunities to view wildlife. The Green Thumb Nature Trail is great for beginning and experienced hikers. At only one mile long, it offers a relaxed experience anyone can enjoy. Its trailhead is located in the Timber Road Campground. The trail meanders through the wooded hillside and rock formations and features wooden pedestrian footpaths and interpretive signing for the plants and animals native to the area. Organizations can schedule guided hikes with park staff. The trail is described as a moderately strenuous hike that is somewhat uphill. At the top of the hill, the surrounding trees frame a spectacular view of Elk City Lake. Table Mound is the most popular trail. This linear trail is nearly three miles long and has a trailhead at the Scenic Overlook near the dam and at the Timber Road Campground. Due to its length, the trail offers hikers many different and picturesque scenes from shoreline to rock bluffs. This trail is blazed with blue paint markings and is considered a moderately strenuous hike. This trail has been designated as a National Recreation Trail under the U.S Department of the Interior s National Trail System. The Post Oak self-guiding trail is located at the Overlook area. It is about a mile in length and takes hikers through a wooded area on top of a hill. The Eagle Rock Mountain Bike trail is located below the dam and runs along the Elk River. The trail is great for beginners wanting to challenge themselves and also for advanced bikers to hone their skills. The Elk River trail is fifteen miles long and runs along the north side of the lake up to the Elk River. The length and terrain make it a challenge for both novice and experienced hikers. Many users camp along the trail and spend several days exploring the area.
