Penwood State Park

Penwood State Park

runs the entire length of the park, in addition to park trails and paved roads accessible by bike.

Penwood State Park was donated to the state in 1944 by Curtis H. Veeder, an industrialist, inventor, and outdoorsperson. Veeder wished the property to "be kept in a natural state so that those who love nature may enjoy this property as I have enjoyed it." He blazed many of the original trails in the park; Lake Louise, a scenic kettle bog atop the ridge, was named after his wife.
