Me and my husband came here with our dog on a Saturday afternoon. It is beautiful!!! Everyone is very friendly, and the views are awesome 😎. We enjoyed some food from the American deli while eating at a picnic table overlooking the eatery under some much appreciated shade. Come check this gorgeous place out!!! 🥰

Great place to hike and relax. Over 30 miles of well groomed hiking trails.

Cheap, Quite, Friendly and your parked right on the lake. Many trails to explore. Pet friendly. Been here almost a week and I think we'll stay another week. Thanks for having us!

Stopped by on way home from a festival. Looks like a great fishing spot! Really neat little dam, would have explored the trails more if time/weather allowed. The primitive camping spots looked awesome, didn't get to see the RV spots much

It is a nice, quiet and peaceful park. It is in serious need of updating. The playground is very old, the toddler swings are made of iron (hot in the summer) and have chipped paint. The playground is also very close to the water. The rowboats and paddleboats look worn out. Bathroom was clean. Great for RV and primitive camping if you want peace and quiet and good fishing. We will be back to check out the trails and possibly camp!
