Our family loves to visit the area in early to mid-May so we can appreciate all the wildflowers in full bloom across the park’s gently rolling hills and grasslands. From boating to bouldering or just relaxing on the shores of Lake Altus, Quartz Mountain State Park is a wonderful weekend getaway for the entire family.
