I’ve been here ever since I was 7, and 15 now. This place is such a hidden gem and I’ve even seen a fox one time here and I once saw a bunch of wild turkeys and I’ve seen several forts people have built. It’s a very good state park and I’ve been here over 10 times.

Beautiful park! Lots of trails, 360 degree views of the mountains. Some of the trails aren’t shaded so go early it got hot!

Beautiful Park. We love coming here. People are usually friendly, it's mostly quiet, the views can't be beat. The sites are nice. They don't have water at the sites, but there is water in the area.

Beautiful park with very nice trails. I did a 3 mile hike by myself and felt safe. It was a moderate hike with stunning views. There is also very fresh water and restrooms at each trailhead.

Lots of trail options and they were well maintained everywhere we went. The views are fantastic because you're higher than the surrounding area. That does mean a lot of the hikes go down though.
