We had our family 4th of July family BBQ there and we had a great time...the kids loved it...

We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! It was peaceful, the perfect size, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The setting was absolutely beautiful—tucked away in nature with a gorgeous lake just steps away. It was also dog-friendly, which was a huge plus for us! Our pup had the best time exploring. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet, scenic escape! 🌲🐾🏞️

Nice park with several amenities...playground, pavilions, grills, walking trail, and beach. They also have a splash pad but it was not working due to a blown transformer. There is also a fee which I did not notice upon entering the park. I was informed by a park official as he pulled in behind me that "the park ain't free. It's $5!" Please put up signage or something...

It's a nice clean quiet place. The lake is beautiful. The bass when you do catch one, are beautiful and healthy as well. I'd recommend having a kayak or a boat, bank fishing doesn't look to be good
