The Middle River meanders through the park. Walk above the river on the swinging stone bridge near the campground. Spring wildflowers add seasonal beauty near the river and in the woods.
Hiking the wooded trails may give you glimpses of the resident wildlife, including deer, beaver, raccoon, and ruffed grouse. During spring and fall migrations, the park is filled with birds like warblers and finches and, at times, magpies and scarlet tanagers. Eagles and several species of hawks and owls are often observed here as well.
Things to Do in Old Mill State Park: Enjoy the swimming beach, picnic grounds, playground area, horseshoes, and volleyball. Interpretive displays and naturalist programs are offered during the spring and summer seasons.
