Visitor Center
at Sam A. Baker State Park
Description
The nature center and visitor center are housed in a unique historic building
that was constructed as a stable in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Visitors can enjoy a variety of “hands-on” exhibits that feature park wildlife,
plants, geology and natural processes. Live snakes, a 150-gallon native fishes
aquarium, and insect collections are just a few of the favorite exhibits. A
detailed 3-D model of the park provides directions and orientation to trails and
other park facilities.
