Park descriptionEdit
Higley Flow State Park offers a sandy beach on Higley Flow with shower facilities and a lifeguard, picnic tables and pavilions, a playground, hiking, a nature trail, recreation programs, a boat launch, fishing, a campground with tent and trailer sites, and seasonal deer hunting. In the winter, volunteers help convert and maintain over 10 miles (16 km) of trails for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing.
The Higley Trails Lodge opened in January 2014 after being constructed using a $60,000 grant from the North Country Regional Economic Development Council. The building includes a large gathering space and heated bathrooms.
A severe ice storm in December 2013 forced the temporary closure of the park while crews removed downed limbs, trees and debris. A similar, slightly more damaging storm also impacted the park in 1998.
