Kayaking Spring Creek

Kayak on the Crystal-clear Spring Creek. Upstream from The Williamson River which Spring Creek flows into. These waters are famous for their quality trout fishery and consistently produce trophy fish. Spring Creek gushes dramatically out of a nearby spring and then produces awesome colors in its pristine waters as it flows through the park. We put you in at the day-use area behind the Collier Logging Museum where we go upstream then down while we show you around.

DAY USE AREA is open year-round

MUSEUM HOURS are 8 am to 8 pm June-August and 8 am to 4 pm September-May.

Collier Memorial State Park features a campground, outdoor museum of historic logging equipment, relocated pioneer village, and a new four-corral, primitive horse camp and trailhead. At the state's finest logging museum, you'll see rare and antique logging equipment dating to the 1880s, as well as more recent pieces.

Railroad buffs will enjoy learning about the role the railroad played in logging. You can imagine the rugged woodsmen and the immense task of moving raw timber with innovation and brute force. The historic cabin village gives you another insight into how these families once lived.

From the equestrian trailhead, you can ride north from the park across national forest land to the Jackson F. Kimball State Recreation Site and beyond.

Whether you come for the day to visit the logging museum, play along Spring Creek, or even camp amongst the pines along the Williamson River - you'll discover a grand adventure at Collier.
