Nature Watching

Standing Boy Creek

Standing Boy Trails is located in the northern portion of the City of Columbus. This 1,580-acre property lies on the shore of Lake Oliver and offers excellent opportunity for hiking, running, biking, and wildlife viewing. It is managed by The City of Columbus via Standing Boy, Inc., an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Quota hunts are held during the fall and spring. All quota hunts are archery (the trails remain open) except for a youth turkey hunt in the spring. The trail system may close after heavy rains. A parking pass is required, and a State Parks pass is not valid.
