As a solo female hiker felt very safe here, even on the more isolated trails. I took the five mile hike (around the lake, up to one of the overlooks, and winding down the Gahuti trail and finishing at the big rock nature walk.) colors were beautiful, great place to reflect and challenge yourself just a bit (some steep inclines). Checked out the stone wall and tower as well - fascinating lore and the most breathtaking view.

We have not camped here but we did drive through the park to check it out. Definitely going back to camp. The Fall foliage was beautiful even though it wasn't peak. Lots of places to grill and picnic. Be Bear Aware though. We did not see a bear but the signs are posted and all of the trash cans are bear proof. Nice little lake to fish in and also a beach to swim in the warmer months.

Went on a morning with cloud cover at that elevation. We still really enjoyed ourselves. Walked the tower trail, stone wall, and overlook trail. Missed the view at the overlook because of the cloud cover. Will be back to see it! The lake was really pretty too.

Camped here 2 nights. We chose site 31. Large and level and beside bath house and bear safe garbage cans. We are in a roof top tent so being close to the restroom and showers is always a plus. Also liked the fact they had a sink there to clean up our dishes. Lots of signs and warnings for bear but we didn’t see any. Was nice to have garbage cans next to us to dispose of anything food related. Bath house also had a washer/dryer and I did use those also. I think $3.25 each and quarters only. No change machine so bring your quuarters. Both machines were excellent. Brought our e-bikes and enjoyed riding the trails and over to the fire tower/overlook. When we were there I would say the campground was maybe 20% capacity. It was perfect. Quiet and not many people. Camp store sells wood/ice and has the cutest apparel! Would definitely camp here again!

The maps were extremely helpful with difficulty levels on the back. Made it a great place to go with all ages from 9-74 (in our group). It was absolutely beautiful and the public restrooms were cleaner than in any other state park I've been to. They had a lovely family friendly area where you could go swimming with a nice easy hiking trail not to mention it's only a $5 fee per car! Just look at these views!
