Study reveals most highly-rated state parks in United States

SHREVEPORT, La. ( KTAL/KMSS ) – A recent study reveals the highest-rated state parks in the United States, and you can use this information to play your next weekend trip or week-long vacation.

Travel experts at Niagara Falls Tours & Tickets conducted the study, which used Tripadvisor data to determine the average rating visitors gave to each state park. The team only factored in state parks with more than 50 online reviews.

Humboldt Redwoods State Park (California) received the highest rating from visitors, with Kachemak Bay State Park in Alaska coming in second.

Two parks in Oregan (Shore Acres State Park and Redmond’s Smith Rock State Park) ranked third and fourth in the study.

A park in the Southern state of Virginia, Grayson Highlands State Park, ranked fifth.

Magdalene Petrusic is a travel expert with Niagara Falls Tours & Tickets , and she said that beauty is certainly the trait that ties together all the state parks found on this list.

“While most state parks across the U.S. have high ratings, these very top ones are so frequently rated as five star, that they can certainly be considered special,” said Petrusic.
