Lake Shetek

Such an amazing campground! Accidentally camped in the picnic area the first night—which ended up being the highlight of the trip having such a large area of land to yourself—so we payed for an actual camp spot the second night. Roseanne at the ranger station was very thoughtful giving us campground 33 because it was similar in that it was the most secluded camp spot of them all. I didn’t get out and explore nearly as much as I should have since the weather was so dang nice, and it was the first camping trip of the year so I was honestly just relaxing. Weather way, you’ll thoroughly enjoy this place!

A very nice well maintained park. Nice hiking trails and lots of water access.

It was a nice stay at cabin and campground. Beaches are beautiful and walkable to the loon island and early sunrise scenes (my thing). Nice kayak and night views of the starry skies

Went for a short visit and hike in mid September. Lake is large and.pretty. Loon Island has a nice trail. Park has both meadow and wooded hiking. The meadow lake and fish retaining ponds were dried up due to lack of rain this year. Saw a few deer. The campground, cabins and facilities seemed nice.

We loved this park! The trails, great lake views, wilderness, history, and quality of the park makes this one of the best in state. I took three bike rides--one in the evening before sundown, and one in the morning, and one in the afternoon. The sundown ride was great as I saw several deer along my trek. I did an "almost dark" loop around Loon Island. My daytime bike rides included another visit to Loon Island with my wife this time. I love that island as it gives you great views of the entire lake. I also rode the path to Currie (nice train park there) and then back to the Trail's Edge Cafe before returning to the campground. This was a fun ride through cornfields, woods, and along the river. This is a great park for those who want a nice blend of hiking, biking, water, wilderness, wildlife, and history. I'd recommend this to anyone as a don't miss destination.

Nice facilities. A great selection of sites. Excellent dump and water station for RV's. The down side? Very little to do at this park. Hiking and bike trails, but if you're not into those...it's boring.

If your looking a great family time swimming, and camping then it's a great place if you don't mind people everywhere around you. if you are looking for more wild life habitat then probably not the place for it. Fishing isn't the greatest though you can drive to different areas which pretty much makes up for it. White and black crappies, walleyes, bullheads, northern pikes, white catfish, bluegills, sunfish, and if your really lucky a large mouth bass.

A very nice state park full of history. Ride the Casey Jones Bike Trail Loop to Currie for the railroad museum and more history of the area. A lot of deer to be seen and not too many biting bugs. We were there for Labor Day weekend, and there must've been a party across the lake because the live band was very loud and easy to hear up until midnight.

This is a 10/10 beautiful Park. Hiked the Loon Island trail first thing in the morning & it was stunning. Great history markers along the trail. Because of all of the old growth & fallen trees it was very active with lots of wonderful birds. I than drove over to hike the Webster Island Trail ... They weren't kidding when they said it was a little used gem - had the whole place to myself. Because of the drought the Marsh area by the observation tower was pretty dry. But WOW the prairie was a bloom with lots of beautiful flowers. You have to walk down a dirt road to get to the trail but it's along shore/prairie. Seen several deer & babies. Rabbits & chipmunk!!
