Collier Memorial State Park features an outdoor museum of historic logging equipment and a relocated pioneer village. As 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. Your can imagine the rugged woodsmen and the immense task of moving raw timber they tackled with innovation and brute force. The pioneer village gives you another insight into how these families once lived.

The Williamson River and crystal-clear Spring Creek meet in the park. The Williamson River is regionally famous for its quality trout fishery and consistently produces trophy fish. Spring Creek gushes dramatically out of a nearby spring and then paints a picture-perfect scene at it flows through the park.

In the summer, movies about old-time logging and other topics are shown every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. The series continues right through Labor Day. During the day, the park naturalist schedules short hikes along the Williamson River. Check the park when you arrive for a list of times.
