About Harry "Babe" Woodyard State Natural Area

A stretch of 1,104 acres makes up this natural area, land set aside for its ecological character rather than developed recreation. The acreage supports a mix of terrain large enough to walk for hours without retracing your steps. Visitors looking for a defined attraction like a lake or lighthouse will not find one here; the draw is the scale of protected ground itself.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Contact the state park agency before you go.
