SPENCER – Echo Canyon Trail, an addition to McCormick’s Creek State Park’s trail system, is now open.
The new trail, adjacent to the park’s Centennial Shelter, is a short loop with a natural, firm, and stable surface and gradual slopes. It allows guests with limited mobility to enjoy views of Echo Canyon.
The loop provides an accessible path along Echo Canyon with two accessible overlooks that feature excellent views of McCormick’s Creek Falls. A short branch of the trail, Redbud Connector, connects the loop to Redbud Shelter and the park’s Nature Center.
This addition of the Redbud Connector increases the total number of miles now open for hiking at McCormick’s Creek from 7.1 to approximately 7.5 miles, more than double what was available immediately after the March 2023 tornado.
