New Germany State Park spans over 483 acres and rests next to the Savage River State Forest. The land was originally used as a power source, thanks to its massive lake, which provided energy to local sawmills. Eventually, the Civilian Conservation Corps bought the forest and redeveloped the area in the late 1930s by planting numerous trees, building cottages, and creating a ski resort. New Germany State Park is also home to a nature center and offers views of the majestic Big Savage Mountain.
