Ridge State Park

1.5 mi. easy to moderate trail meanders along 45 acre Big Ridge Lake and
across Big Ridge Dam which was constructed in the 1930's by the Civilian
Conservation Corp, the young men responsible for building many of the
structures in the park. To one side of the dam is Big Ridge Lake, to the
