Haystack Mountain State Park is a 224-acre area that provides a roadway halfway up the mountain, and then a half mile trail to the observation viewing tower. From the parking lot at the end of the roadway the rugged half-mile trail to the top will require about half an hour for those who are not seasoned hikers.
The plants and foliage in this area is always a favorite of visitors.
The park is one mile north of Norfolk on Route 272.
