Annual Spring Cleaning Days
We do major park cleanups in April - Chainsaw Day (always first day of trout season) followed by Trail Day the next Saturday. Thanks to sponsors, we are able to feed all volunteers and give them a T-shirt. More pictures.
Theatre in the Park
The Endless Mountains Theatre Company brought Shakespeare to the park in May.
Bunny Trail
The Bunny Trail was featured this spring in a Times-Tribune article on best places to hike.
New Picnic Grove
Chris Ricci's Eagle Scout project was to create a handicap-accessible picnic area. Located at the base of the gorge, it is framed by Fall Brook and the remnants of the old woolen mill and methane gas well. More Pictures.
Fall Brook
Fall Brook is the best place to be on a hot summer day.
Learning Can Be Fun!
Kids attending Camp Cuff's summer camp learned about watersheds. Here they're flowing along with Silver Creek to the Chesapeake Bay.
Williams Pavilion
The new Williams Pavilion is a testament to what volunteers and donations do for our park. More pictures.
Historical Program
George Cummings, 18th century history enthusiast, shared his antiques and knowledge with us in July. Here he explains that chunks of sugar were nipped off sugar cones (sold wrapped in blue and stamped with the seller's seal) as needed.
Deer in the Campgrounds
A small herd of deer have been browsing the campground this year. Four to six can be spotted on the pavilion lawn on quiet days.
Woofstock
It's all about the dogs! - and all other animals True Friends Animal Welfare Center helps. True Friends held their annual fundraiser at Salt Springs for several years in August until the Barn Pavilion was washed away in the 2018 flood.
Trail Race
The second Field, Forest, and Falls trail race was held before the Celebration on August 30. Ninety-eight people registered, and 93 ran.
Snake!
What's that?? There's always something new to delight young and old at our annual Celebration. More pictures.
Wedding
Weddings take place nearly every weekend in the summer. On September 6, Jen Houghtaling and Tad Johnson were married at the pavilion.

Halloween Fest! This annual party starts with pumpkin carving...
Haunted Place?
and ends in our "haunted" woods!
Indoor Wedding
When it's mid-November and you want to get married at Salt Springs, consider the Wheaton House for an intimate ceremony. Greg Steinberg and Emily Novitski found it the perfect place to begin their new life together. More pictures.
Silver Creek
From January through December, Salt Springs is yours to experience and explore.
