Great state park. Unfortunately, the water has blue green algae. We still rented kayaks and had a great time on the water though.

I visited this state park to check off another hiking club trail, so that's the only trail I explored. The trail was wide and relatively easy, and there were plenty of maps along the trails to prevent you from getting lost. There is a paved bike trail that goes through the park, and it looked very well maintained. Overall, I had a great experience here.

Nice quiet campground even though it was very full. The spots are a bit more spread out than some state parks and many of the spots are very private. The bath/shower room was clean and well cared for. We talked to 2 different Park Rangers, both were very nice and helpful. The closeness to the bike path was great. The dump station turn in would be tight if you had a larger camper, but if you take the last loop of the campground it looks like it would be a straighter shot. We did not have to do that as our rig is very small. Just a note to check it out before you drive down to it with your camper. The firewood sold at this park was probably the nicest wood we have bought at any other state park. I was a bit worried about that because (in our experience) the parks closer to the twin cities don't always have the greatest firewood. It was a nice quiet weekend - we will camp here again!

This park is better than expected. Nice lake area and has a good wooded campground for a smaller park. Very nice big woods scenery throughout. Not much for trails being a smaller park but the ones they have are nice . Has a nice bike path. Park would be exceptional if it had a swim beach and better day use area. Road noise is a constant being small and close to the main highway.

I can't rate how the camp sites are. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The park is pretty simple. Quite a few campsites. A couple trails. The dock wasn't at the fishing pier. The trails are well marked. There was nothing very interesting or special to see or do. If you just want a camp site I'm sure it's fine. I have been to many state parks that offer more interesting terrain and more things to see and do. There are some canoes and kayaks and such you can rent.

Very well kept trails, beautiful scenic trails for bikes (snowmobiles in the winter) and general hiking. Supremely beautiful in the fall with all the gorgeous colors.

Beautiful place to visit with plenty of camping sites for drive-in camping. Lots of tree and plant growth between campsites which offers a decent amount of privacy. Tons of trails to explore and a nice long paved path nearby for biking. The bathroom and showers are decent for a.state park and they do a good job keeping it clean. Cheaper to buy firewood bundles from the park office $5/bundle versus in town where you are charged tax for a total cost of $6.50 or so. Definitely, a nice place for some relaxing close to the city and great for family trips.
