Mill Bluff

Trails were terrible. Climed up an incline then another 182 natural rock steps to get to top. Had 2 observation ends, 1 overlooked a couple of crossing highways and the traffic was so loud I couldn't hear my wife read the description post. The othe end was supposed to look out at an airfield but the trees have gotten so tall you can't see anything but trees from that side. Tried the lower loop around the bluff but the trail is so far from the bluff that trees make ot impossible to actually see the stone formation of the bluff and the mosquitoes were so bad we went aa fast as we could to get out. On the opposite side of the road from the bluff had a nice looking pond that people were swimming in but we didn't have suits so I can't say anything about it other than it looked nice.

Nice access to get to the scenic area. Was disappointed that there wasn't much else in the way of hiking trails. Be sure to plan for mosquitoes!

We always enjoy supporting our state parks, and this one has a lot to offer, considering its size. There is a mix of sites, including open & grassy, shady & sandy, and a few E hookups. Our site (#8) would have had a beautiful view of a bluff in spring or fall; worth considering when you plan your trip. In the summer heat, we found ourselves at the beach or chasing shade. Speaking of beach, this one is perfect. Lots of tables, trees for a hammock, and a huge, sandy swim area. It gets busy when it's hot, and there's lots of room for everyone. Paddle boards, floaties, and kayaks recommended (but there is no fishing allowed). This park is rustic; there are pit toilets and a hand pump (the water doesn't look great, tbh) at the park itself. However, the parking lot at the trailhead nearby has running water (fountain or jug filler) and the water looks clear. The main downside is noise; the park is tucked between an interstate and a railroad crossing, so you'll hear both, even at night. The highlight was the trail across the road, which leads to a steep natural stone staircase. It's a tough climb and the sand can be slippery on the stone so watch your footing! But the stunning view at the top is worth it.

Beautiful sights. Bring bug spray. Good for kids. There’s a clean beach- no lifeguard, no pets. Shallow and nice sand. Newer playground. Campsites are clean and many available when we were there. Well pumps for water. Clean pit toilets that didn’t smell bad at all. Great place to watch fighter jets fly over.

This park is pretty spread out. You are either going to drive to the different trail heads, or you'll walk about 1 or 2 miles to get to them all. The only things I don't like, as usual with me, are trash and graffiti. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the hikes up to the crest of the bluffs. Camel bluff trail is hard to see if you're walking the trail below it.
