Cool spot with a nice view of the dam site. There wasn't anything else to do but check out the site

We have been going boating and camping here my entire life. Love everything Dam Site has to offer guests.

Beautiful place to walk, especially in the fall, winter and spring. Dog friendly which is great. This place is well taken care of and seems to be a local favorite.

Nice overlook of the damn itself and downstream. A lot of the parks were closed because of the holidays so can't comment on surrounding areas

We keep our boat docked at Dam Site Marina. The staff at the Damn Store are always friendly and very helpful. We have been coming to this lake for many years, and before we got a permanent spot for our camper, we camped here, too. Never had a bad experience in all the years we camped here. It's one of the best camp spots around.
