About Echo Bluff State Park

Echo Bluff State Park sits on ground that once hosted Camp Zoe, a youth summer camp that began more than eight decades ago. Today it serves visitors year-round with river floating, hiking trails, swimming, and fishing. The park offers a large lodge with guest rooms, dining, and meeting spaces, plus nine full-service cabins containing thirteen units. Camping ranges from primitive sites to full-service hookups. A bluff-top shelter suits special events, and a smaller amphitheater sits against a dramatic natural backdrop. Mountain biking and hiking trails are also available.
