New Germany State Park’s visitors frequently call it a “best kept secret.” Located between Big Savage Mountain to the east and the eastern Continental Divide along Meadow Mountain to the west, this park contains a network of multi-use trails and a small lake. This trail follows the Poplar Lick Run Trail, through the river valley and along the river’s banks. Majestic forest covered hills and mountains surround you and provide stunning scenery along with the sound of the rushing stream next to you. You will make a loop, visiting the small lake then climbing atop a hill with a great vantage point and views. The paths are relatively flat but somewhat rocky and often wet, requiring moderate technical skills.
