Eastside shelter was a perfect place for a small wedding. Loved being able to rent bison and deer ridge cabins. Just wish there was an option that didn't require you to clean

We camped at Swan Lake for 2 nights. Our tent campsite was quiet and secluded. We were right next to the lake. Listening to the symphony of croaking frogs during the night was very soothing. The restrooms were clean and the shower worked great! We rented a paddle boat for a very reasonable $5 an hour, hiked the nature trail and my husband did some fishing. All in all, Swan Lake is a great campground with plenty of activities for everyone!

Great place for nature lovers !! The lake really attracts waterfowl during migration seasons. Plenty of deer as well.

Beautiful park, well kept. Nice concrete trail as well as a nature trail. Bison, bald eagles and swans all on site. Took a couple hours to walk all the way around and it was well worth it.
