Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Monte Sano State Park is a gorgeous 2,140-acre green space that can be found on top of the Monte Sano Mountain. The name ‘Monte Sano’ translates to ‘Mountain of Health’ in Spanish, which was probably derived from its popularity in the 1800s as a place to enjoy the fresh air, mineral springs, and spectacular views which were available there.

There are 20 miles of hiking trails and 14 miles of biking trails visitors can explore, all of which are stunning throughout the year but especially so in the spring when native azaleas bloom alongside the trails. Additional features and amenities include picnic pavilions, a disc golf course, and a playground.
