BILL KING PARK TRAILS

This charming park along the Salmon River has a parking area marked with many stones from the old mills. These round stones would grind local grain into flour.

Wooded trails lead through the trees to the river for a gentle, fun walk, especially for those with small children and happy dogs. Views of the river are especially pretty.

To get there, take Duane Road south, past the Malone Rec. Park. The parking area for Bill King Park is 3.1 miles past the Malone Golf Course.
