Adams Lake State Park
State park
👍 My friend and I jokingly renamed the park as Lily Pad Park and Lake of the Lilies because well…that’s all that you’ll see on the water these days! An occasional crane or a few ducks and geese. My family loves to kayak here (beginners and it’s easier on steady water when you’re new) and it makes it n...

Columbia National Wildlife Refuge
Wildlife refuge
👍👍 I have been coming here since I was 14, but religiously every year to hike and explore for the last 5 years.
I have had so many wonderful experiences here, usually always very peaceful. I have gone trash picking most recently since littering got a little worse this last year.
All in all a wonderfu...

Siloam Springs State Park
Park
👍 $20 a night for power in the middle of nowhere equals quiet nights and lots of wildlife!!!
It's a hilly camp, so most trails are down and up. The tow in wasn't bad, a few small hills. The Hickory Hills spot was up a steep hill that I didn't want to tackle. The other camp sites were easily accessibl...

Natchez State Park
State park
👍👍 The scenery is gorgeous, and the park is perfectly peaceful! We stayed in a cabin and the view from the back deck was beautiful. The geese, the water, the enormous green trees and no guests on either side of us made this getaway a true delight. The fixtures, carpet and furniture in the cabin are old...

Emerald Mound
Historical landmark
👍👍 WOW!!!!!!! We learned this is the SECOND LARGEST MOUND in the USA. The SIZE IS WOW!!!! The road driving to the mound has alot of pot holes and in poor repair. Need a SIGN NOTICEABLE from the Natchez Trace Parkway to help driver's turn onto correct road.

From Africa to Russia and everywhere in between. They had animals from all over the world with pictures and a story to go...

Riverdale Regional Park
Park
👍👍 If you like biking and walking this trail is awesome! It’s paved and very wide, and runs for miles it seems. Very peaceful and great scenery - highly recommend this area to explore! The trail was even cleared of snow in February and we saw five Bald Eagles and their nest!

Adams County Historical Society
Museum
😠 I’m thinking many of the high reviews here are from people that may not have been to many historical societies before and aren’t exactly looking at the big picture with how a historical society or museum are supposed to be managed. This is one of those that had a few old items donated decades ago bu...

Follow until you come to Last Chance Campground: the trailhead is off to the right. If you choose this route you will need to wait un...
