About Mike Roess Gold Head Branch State Park
A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER
Charles Smith
The cooler temperatures and low humidity of the autumn season makes this a wonderful time to experience the sights and sounds of
If you enjoy hiking we have 4 marked trails that vary in length form a short 10-minute walk to a full two-hour hike for the experienced hiker. Wildlife is abundant; keep watch for white-tailed deer, turkey, gopher tortoises, fox squirrels and more.
Due to low water levels, our swimming area is closed, but you can still enjoy the beauty of Little Lake Johnson by renting a canoe and taking a slow paddle along the shoreline.
Want to spend the night and see the park under the stars? We have full facility family camping and vacation cabins available for rental. Please visit our Activities page for details on making reservations.
Join us on Saturday, October 8th for a Haunted Moon Light Hike through the woods of the park. Ghost and goblins will surely greet you. The hike will be scary, please use discretion in bringing young children.
The swimming area will be closed due to low water conditions until further notice.
