Bald Point State Park

Bald Point State Park gets its name from the bald eagle, which can be seen migrating south along with other birds and wildlife.

If you’re a nature lover or enjoy bird watching, bring your binoculars and cameras. Bald Point State Park is a great destination with a lot of tree life and many species of birds here.

There are many hiking or bike riding trails to explore the beauty of the park, and the beach offers a quiet escape if you enjoy the sun and water.



Bring along a picnic for lunch or dinner and enjoy the scenery from one of the quaint pavilions. You could also take a lesson from the bald eagle and swoop up a fish with your hands (but we wouldn't advise it).

Where to eat: There are no specific places in the park, but there are many restaurants nearby and at surrounding beaches of Alligator Point (where Bald Point is located), such as the Crooked River Grill.
