| State Park Overview: |
 | The freshwater Black River briskly cuts its way through rocky Hacklebarney State Park, cascading around boulders in the hemlock-lined ravine. Two tributaries, Rinehart and Trout Brooks, also course their way through this glacial valley, feeding the Black River. Even in the heat of midsummer, the temperature of Black River gorge is cool and refreshing.
Three rare and endangered plant species exist within the park: American ginseng, leatherwood and Virginia pennywort. Over a hundred bird species and wildlife such as black bear, woodchuck, deer and fox live in the park. |

One of the Best Parks!
Upon entering the park you immediately notice the green lush setting. As you proceed to the parking area you will notice the various plants & trees. Walking the trails can be difficult but worth the effort. Small playgrounds for children can be found while walking through this wonderfully shaded park with a meandering stream. Great Park!
