Osage Hills State Park Hiking Trails
Osage Hills Trails
The Bugle Multi-use trail is located in Osage Hills State Park. This 4-mile trail covers a wide diversity of the Park. The trail head is located in the R.V. loop. This trail starts out uphill to look-out tower, a rock tower overlooking the Osage hills. The trail then goes on through the woods to Lookout Lake. There are huge boulders to sit on and look out over the lake. The trail continues on around through the woods then runs along Sand Creek. After crossing back through the park the best part of the trail appears at the bluff overlook on Sand Creek. Sit on top of the cliffs and soak up the view.
Early morning hikers can take advantage of the wildlife, probably finding dozens of wild turkey, vultures, lizards, turtles, a variety of birds and probably 15-20 deer. The deer in the area of the park are somewhat tame, making for some great pictures.
