Active Places: Little Beaver State Park

If you’re looking for a peaceful and inviting place to stay active while connecting with others, the Little Beaver Walking Group is your perfect weekend plan. Led by Community Captain Emily, this group meets every Saturday at 9:00 AM for a walk that’s as much about good company as it is about good health.

A Hidden Gem for Walkers

Little Beaver State Park offers a beautiful backdrop for walking. The calm lake, wooded trails, and tranquil views create a perfect environment for movement and mindfulness. Whether you’re circling the water’s edge or venturing onto a nearby trail, every step comes with fresh air and scenic beauty.

Why Walk in a Group?

Walking is one of the simplest ways to improve physical and mental health—and when done in a group, the benefits multiply. Group walks offer:

  • Social connection and encouragement to stay consistent

  • A safe and supportive environment for all fitness levels

  • Opportunities to explore nature in a welcoming setting

  • Improved mood and reduced stress through shared outdoor time

There’s no pressure to hit a certain pace or distance. The group decides together how far to go, and the flexible route accommodates everyone’s comfort and interest. Whether it’s a few laps around the lake or a light trail adventure, you’ll leave feeling better than when you arrived.

What to Expect

  • Flexible walking routes – lake loops or trail sections based on group interest

  • Group-paced experience – no one walks alone

  • Beautiful surroundings – peaceful lake views and natural scenery
