Pretty great for camping quiet and kept nice. They offer electric with water hook up and non electric. Not a whole lot of fishing access unless you want to sit in the weeds and the tall grass. And No swimming. Gun range is closed wh7ch was pretty disappointing. They also offer an equestrian area with campsites which looks pretty decent with lots to offer.

We've been picnicking here since I was a child in the 1980s. Honestly, it's not like it used to be. The trees are an improvement, it used to have no windbreak and the wind was terroble, haha! Though, now the playground equipment really needs redone, and it would be great if someday the bathrooms were updated (they're the hole in the floor type), BUT if you want a quiet place with a picnic shelter, a water spigot, nearby bathroom, and BBQ, it's perfect.

Pierce Creek is one of my favorite conservation areas. The lake is very productive for fishing and kayak friendly as it's a no motor lake. Well groomed equestrian trails are around the lake, a nice little campground with water and electric and lots of wildlife.

It was so nice me and my dad were reeling them in all the time we would cast out and in 30 seconds we would have a fish best place to fish.

This place is awesome for Equestrian Trail Rides. The trails were all well kept and very neat scenery. Have obstacles to work with your horses. The camping area setup on the equestrian side is very neat. Offer stalls and plenty of space to park truck and trailer if your there to camp or there for the day pass. Camping and daily passes all seem very reasonable and everything is very well kept. Will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend to all!!
