The 6.9 mile Stinson Creek Trail follows the path of Stinson Creek as it winds through Fulton. The scenic trail features the Covered Bridge just west of Business 54 and is limited to pedestrians and bicycles.

Bring your four-legged friends for a romp in the Fulton Dog Park, where segregated play areas keep dogs safe and happy. The park is fully fenced with shade trees, benches and picnic tables, and a watering station for visitors.

Get up close and personal with alpacas on a working fiber farm at Alpacas d’Auxvasse. The fiber shop offers handmade yarns, rugs, and scarves for purchase.
