This is an absolutely great place to go for long walks. It's a place where you don't have to stay on the trails. Well, okay, in some spots, they ask that you stay on the trail. You can bring the family and dogs. There is something for just about every outdoors person. There is camping, parks, fishing and of course walking/ hiking.

Nice park- you could see the path only because it was worn down snow, although it looks like it would be easy to follow in the summer with the trail marked quite well for directions. Always nice to see a waterfall- and in the winter this one is completely frozen, along with the stream, which we were able to walk across. Only gave 4 stars cause stairs down to waterfall were packed ice.

The facilities are clean, the trails are very well marked, you can get a fairly private campsite if you don't mind a short walk with your gear, and the Rangers checked on my welfare when a storm started rolling through (without being at all bothersome). The perfect kind of camping situation. Thank you.

Overall this is a great state park that I highly recommend checking out! There were plenty of places to explore, beautiful views, and a nice little waterfall. Can be a hilly hike, but it is well worth it! That being said, it does get busy, so try to get there early! We didn't really run into that many people until you got to the waterfall, so it really wasn't that bad. The trouble comes when trying to find a place to park. The main lot was full, so we had to park in the rustic campsite for the overflow. The main office was also open, so anyone trying to get their state park passport would be able to get it there! If the lots happen to be full at Nerstrand when you arrive, DON'T WORRY! There is a nice county park about 3 miles down the road you can venture to in the mean time and then come back after chdcking it out! It is called Caron Park and it is another park I'd recommend checking out either before or after Nerstrand!
