Been coming here and all the surrounding areas for close to 20 years. Have never left without a rested soul and a smile on my face.

We love this place. I've been coming here for 35+ years from when I was a small child and now I bring my children here. I wish they still stocked the creek with fish though. I'm very upset with fish and game for stopping that.
