Ready to get wild ‘n out? Big Run is the ultimate rugged getaway. Located at the mouth of the Savage River Reservoir, the park is a bomb semi-primitive base camp from which to explore the surrounding Savage River State Forest. You have easy access to fishing and boating on the reservoir, but keep it simple with non-motorized boats.
Enjoy sweeping vistas and multiple creek crossings on the Monroe Run Trail, whose trailhead is next to campsite 62. At just under five miles, the trail runs along the old CCC road that connected the Savage River and Meadow Mountain camps in the 1930s. And be prepared for some seriously fierce natural beauty, especially if you visit in the fall. The surrounding mountain ridges offer a spectacular display of changing colors.
