Staunton State Park

Trip

Hiking – Staunton State Park - Bear Paw Trail Loop

This is a moderate loop hike traveling counterclockwise along the Mason Creek, Bear Paw, Old Mill, and Staunton Ranch trails, passing along the three overlooks on the Bear Paw trail that provide a great view of the park. Bring your state parks pass, or evidence of one on your auto registration, if you have one! If you don't have one we'll attempt to match pass holders with non-pass holders at the car pool meet up location. Leader in Training (LIT) Trip for J.D. Weaver.
