Best State Park in Each State

As many of you know, I follow a travel blog called The Discoverer. They tout themselves as A Modern Travel Guide that transports you to far off destinations directly from your inbox. I enjoy reading the articles on my quest to discover the world. One such article listed the Best State Park in Each State. The writer Morgan Love, doesn’t say how each park was selected, but non-the-less, I thought it would be fun to visit each park and give you my take on the park. The impetus of the article is to pay tribute to our beloved State Parks as State Parks are giving National Parks a run for their money, drawing an average of 807 million visitors annually. And why the hype – well, for one, each state has a ton of protected land with State Park designation — a whopping 18,694,570 acres, to be exact. With 8,565 parks and 14,672 trails to explore, chances are there’s a beautiful park right in your backyard. But if proximity isn’t enough to entice you, our State Parks are also known to offer the same amount of grandeur, history, and natural beauty as any other wild place in the states.

So follow along and be transported to these State Parks!
