Civilian Conservation Corps hand-chiseled marks on Scenic Mountain Road
Now, the park is appreciated by city residents for family picnics, community events and
exercise. It's also an easy stop-off Interstate 20 for day visitors. The legacy of Big Spring
State Park is to share and preserve the stories of our great country and local community.
We hope you enjoy the wonderful views, a glimpse of the area's history and the lovely native
plants and wildlife that call Big Spring State Park home.
Only a few of the 300 plus carvings are mentioned in this guide, but with some exploring and
a good eye, you'll be able to spot many more!
WE NIE:EDYOUR HELP
Please help protect these carvings by only enjoying
them with your eyes, camera or sketchpad.
