Hiking trails wind through much of the timbered areas
in Oakland Mills Park, creating an excellent classroom
for environmental education. |

A historic wagon bridge across the Skunk River has been
converted to a pedestrian footbridge to provide visitors

are also located on the footbridge. |

The Oakland Mills Dam was a hydroelectric plant built
in the 1920's. This plant provided electricity for the
area for nearly 40 years before being abandoned. Now used
as a fishing pier on the Skunk River, it is an area landmark.
A viewing telescope has also been installed to view the
wildlife found along the banks of the Skunk River. |

The North Shore Area features a cozy campground with
10 primitive campsites, a rest room, and a picnic shelter.
During the winter months, the North Shore Area becomes
a favorite place to view Bald Eagles on the Skunk River. |
