 is home to our famous historic Gold Dredge, but also boasts 77 acres of State Park with well maintained trails and bridges that take visitors in several directions through beautiful wildlife habitat for breathtaking views of the Sumpter Valley and the Dredge from Spring to Fall. Then comes Winter and with it plenty of snow! The Sumpter Gold Dredge does close for the winter to tours and vehicle traffic.....but the State Park remains open to snowmobilers, snowshoers, nordic skiiers, and Winter Adventurers! Winter explorers will discover trails throughout the entire park. For many, winter means the end of hiking these wonderful trails...... Not for snowshoers! Snow transforms the State Park into a Winter Playground and all you need is a pair of snowshoes! The snowmobile trail groomer and many snowmobiles keep the trail packed so well that you can even walk down to the dredge without snowshoes all Winter.....!
