Attraction Spotlight

Breaks Interstate Park has something for every season.

Like many beautiful locales within Pike County, Breaks Interstate Park provides visitors with an outdoor adventure and first hand nature experience that they will never forget. At the center of this marvelous locale resides a 250 million year old, 1600 feet deep canyon that is the largest canyon east of the Mississippi, which contains more than 13 miles of hiking trials. Each hiking trail typically is no more than 1 mile long, but by being interconnected, provides a much longer route to challenge more experienced hikers. Trail maps are conveniently available at the Visitor Center.
