Mueller State Park’s 50 miles of trails provide a 5,000-acre playground for the hiker, mountain biker, wildlife watcher and winter sports enthusiast.


 A popular wildlife watching area, Mueller is home to elk, black bear, hawks, and mule deer. Park visitors traverse the park’s numerous trails on foot, snowshoes, cross-country skis, horseback and mountain bike, depending on the season.
 
Mueller also has two options to stay overnight. There are 132 campsites in the park; 16 of these are open for winter camping . The park also has three cabins for rent year-round.
 
Mueller State Park welcomes pets in campgrounds, picnicking areas and along the park’s roads, but not on the hiking trails. Keeping pets off of the trails increases the chances of visitors seeing the numerous species of wildlife in the park.  Pets must be on a leash at all times unless they are in their tent, RV or personal vehicle. Download  Pets at Mueller State Park  to learn more.
