Rockport State Park Recreation Area is a beautiful place to spend time. Hiking, biking, fishing, swimming, lovely views, and much more.

I’ve visited Rockport many times, often to hike or bike to the sinkholes or visit a sandy beach that’s tucked away.

The path to the sinkholes is beautiful to me because it winds through many different settings. There is the quarry, fields, forest, and my favorite part of the path, the Birch Trees. No matter the season, this area is stunning.

The last ¾ mile to the sinkholes was always full of rocks and roots. I enjoyed the challenge of maneuvering a bike or my feet over those small hurdles. It was a fun part of the adventure.

However, on a recent visit to Rockport, something about the hike had changed.
