The nation's top-rated state park is a West Coast paradise

by

While our national parks often get more attention, there are also plenty of state parks that offer breathtaking views, inspiring natural wonders, and experiences unlike anywhere else in the country. But which do visitors enjoy the most.

To find out, tourism company Niagara Falls Tours & Tickets analyzed TripAdvisor reviews of nearly 7,000 state parks across the country. He compiled a list of the 10 most positive reviews, omitting those with less than 50 reviews.

At the top is California's world-famous Humboldt Redwood State Park, where visitors can admire the state's famous towering trees. Just beyond was Alaska's Kachemak Bay State Park, which offers wonderful kayaking, fishing and wildlife viewing.

A pair of state parks in Oregon and a state park in Virginia rounded out the Top 5.
