Walking in Lake Malone State Park you might stumble across some giant friends! ‘Big Twigs’ are the three 14′ tall friendly sculptures that depict hiking, fishing, and camping. They were unveiled Wednesday, August 11.

The larger-than-life sculptures are meant to encourage outdoor play and adventures.

When you go to Lake Malone State Park, you’ll find them located around the start park. They include “Happy Malone” who welcomes visitors at his campsite, “Bobber Malone” who is lakeside fishing for the “big catch”, and “Oakley Malone” who is living large on the park’s hiking trail.

The 788-acre lake is enclosed by dramatic 50-foot sandstone bluffs and surrounded by hardwood forests of mountain laurel, holly, dogwood trees. Natural wonders abound in Lake Malone’s secluded wilderness and the lake has been described as an “angler’s delight.”
