Lots of memories have been made here; good little park for families. Walking trail near, camping area on one side, fishing areas galore & dog friendly too. Bathrooms are available as well as a water fountain.

Even though it's flood season at Shadow Rock, Park. The water level at the dam is lower, and the water is receding, and the fish are biting at the empire park side of the dam against the wall. Walleye,trout, seaweed. The water is still too high right now for shadow rock, but across the iron bridge and down the hill and right at the stop, you can follow it all the way to the dam and empire park.

Went there for the Motorcycle swap meet. Definitely not at many vendors as in the past. Clean park and very nice.

Small town ran campground/rv Park it’s a perfect place to go relax with the family. We have rented a slot with full hookups for five nights ( spots 1-8 are full hookups they are a bit tight) they have other sights with water and electric as well that are cheaper! The easiest way to reserve/check in is to call the number before you arrive! They take cash only! Very happy with the experience highly recommend as not many people seem to come here! There is also a Military/Veterans discount make sure you have your ID for that! It’s a very courteous discount! The sights are right in the water!
