We absolutely enjoyed our time at this park. The trails can be a little challenging but otherwise they have great views!

This Park is beautiful. Surrounded by thick timber. Road down to the cedar river where there are several picnic areas with tables & grills. Across the river is a beautiful stone cabin way up on the top of the bluff. The bluffs & rock formations are beautiful & have small caves in the bluff walls. It's so quiet & relaxing to watch the river twinkle in the sunlight. There's also some trails that go throughout the park. Up front is lodge that can be rented out for wedding, family reunions. Very nice place.

Beautiful park with short trails. Easy accessibility from CR/Mt Vernon area. Roads could be marked better. Trails could use some more cleanup, but they are good to hike. Cedar Cliff Trail, listed on the map as ‘hard’ has a couple of stretches of uphill/downhill, including one long staircase. Some stairs are angled and slick.

Very picturesque park with well-maintained trails. There are several restrooms and benches spread throughout. It's on the smaller side for a state park and can pretty easily be done in a day or weekend. Well worth a visit!
