Beautiful park! Very clean. Campsites are great. We were in site 45. Waterfront. The only bad thing I would say is about some of the stones they have around the lakeside sites are loose! Our friends were in the site next to us and he stepped on a loose brick/ stone, fell and skinned his hands up. Other than that we had a good time!

It’s a beautiful park and one of our favorites. We truly enjoy the fall colors and that cool crisp air.

This is a great little park. Has a few trails, great playgrounds and clean bathrooms. We loved our short stay here. Nice location as well for things to do in the area.

One of my favorite places to be. I fish here a lot. Beautiful scenery, clean bathrooms (maybe the cleanest state park restrooms), and lots to do. Fishing, camping, several trails, and a swimming beach.

I visited this state park to go fishing and I was very impressed with it. It is well maintained, they have many areas where you can fish from shore, they have fishing docks/piers, and they have boat access as well. They have a store onsite that sells bait, fishing gear, snacks, drinks, and more. There is plenty of parking available. There is part of the lake that is available for swimming. They have restrooms and campgrounds and nice walking trails too. There were several people walking there dogs there and they had a playground and picnic areas too. I would have like more bait being available at the store. They just had worms and catfish bait but some minnows would have been nice. Overall, great park and I look forward to visiting it again.
