Welcome to Marksdale State Park Where fun, fitness, and education come together Don't miss our new summer classes available during May 23- Aug 5! Swimming lessons: Ages 4—adult. Cost: $ 5 per class or $ 15 for one month. Hiking: Have a state park keeper hike through our paths with you and teach you about the park's wildlife and plants. Soccer: Our youth soccer program is unusual in that it is non-competitive. Different teams are formed every day. The focus is on each player learning to work as a team, not on one team winning it all. Boating: These classes are only for 20-year-olds and above. Fishing is only allowed with a permit. Bicycling: We have special paths built for bicyclists. Signs are posted for self-guided tours of our park. Group cycling is also available with a park guide. Paths range from easy to challenging. A message from the director: Hiking paths! Sport fields! Playgrounds! Campgrounds! Fun activities! Located on McQueeney, Marksdale State Park offers something for everyone. We have a number of plants and animals, which are in danger of dying out, being protected in our park. Sign up for one of our new summer community classes, or take a camping trip with your friends or family! Glen Harwood, Park Director |
