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.

Stumbled upon this state park by accident. While passing through. Very clean and well maintained. Clean restroom facilities. Beautiful lake . Small swimming area. Play ground available for small kids.

Hiked 3.22 miles done today on 3 trails, for a total of 4.67 miles including just on the road and back to my truck. I first did the White Oak trail and took probably 100 spider webs to the face, lol! This loop trail was maintained well and marked well, very user friendly and I think 1-2 benched throughout for the 1.7 mile hike. After the wooded hike I did the paved trail around the lake, which I realized later is the Cedar trail and it's gorgeous! Short, easy, lovely nature views, highly recommend!

We fully enjoyed our last minute stay here! The bathrooms were exceptionally maintained and the staff we did run into was extremely friendly and polite. The sites were dispersed around the circle for viewing the lake in a nice fashion. We liked it enough to stay an extra night. We also liked the nicer picnic tables and lantern hooks. The trees made it easy to hang the hammocks.

Park store is well stocked & staff friendly & knowledgeable. Came for the 2024 Eclipse & they had a nice packet prepared for the day & learning more about the state. Enjoyed a Ranger led program about the eclipse as well as park preparations for same. Everything seems well planned & running as planned. Almost time for the dark to begin.
