General Info

Originally purchased in April 1974 from John Stone and opened to the public in May 1978, Yellow Creek Park provides a multifaceted recreational and leisure opportunity. Nestled along the wooded banks of Yellow Creek at Thruston, the 152 acre park features hiking trails, multi-purpose sports areas, a Pioneer Village, and several outdoor pavilions. Other amenities that set Yellow Creek Park apart from other area parks include a swinging bridge, a refurbished one room school house, a 7 acre lake, and multiple walking trails. Our trail guide can be found here. Yellow Creek Park is a frequent backdrop for both professional and amateur photographers. Family portraits and senior pictures are often taken near the iron bridge and the James Lambert Pioneer Village. The Pioneer Village boasts two log cabins and two log barns that are the perfect setting for photos, weddings and family gatherings.Originally purchased in April 1974 from John Stone and opened to the public in May 1978, Yellow Creek Park provides a multifaceted recreational and leisure opportunity.
