Beautiful! Simply beautiful. Nice park with lots to do for family. Great hiking trails, disk golf, playgrounds, camping, kayak, horseshoe and Cornhole area.

Rental Canoes & kayaks, miles of trails ranging from easy to medium, even miniature golf. I haven't investigated the campsites, but everything else is excellent. they're building a new office/store by the pond, which looks like it will be gorgeous when it is done. currently the office is in a trailer in parking lot 1

Enjoyed hiking the trails here with East Coast Hikers. Well maintained and marked trails. Four parking lots. Kayak and canoe rentals. Camping, too! A wonderful place to get out into Nature!

This park is beautiful! Very well shaded and peaceful. Perfect place for a leisurely stroll or fast-paced walk.

Really enjoyed the stay. Had Spot 1. Don't take that spot unless you love hearing kids play all day (from early morning to dusk) at the playground immediately across the road. Decent bathroom and shower facilities. A bit buggy but overall clean and within an easy walk regardless of where your spot is. Electric at sites (30 Amp) but water has shared hookups so bring your longest water hoses. No black-tank hookup but a Dump Station on site on the way out (another reason not to take Site 1). ;) Reasonable rates ($30 per night). Come fully equipped because the Camp Store has none of the usual camping items such as small propane bottles, batteries, camp stove gas, charcoal, or even ice or firewood. Staff is friendly. Canoe, kayaking, and paddle boat rental available. Very nice little lake (no swimming) and a little river that is beautiful for paddling. We enjoyed our visit and will very likely be back.

If your like me and you love nature and the outdoors then this is perfect for you. I went out here alone, to rent a kayak. Probably one of the most peaceful things ive ever done. Spent $20 which got me 2 full hours on the water. I recommend bringing extra clothes and shoes as I did fall in while docking my kayak. Overall it was great, though. I slept like a baby after. Worth every penny. Also, everything except getting a rental is self service which is a plus, for me.

Great place to take the family. The bathhouse and bathrooms were immaculate, very big plus. And the tent lots were nice and big. Firepit has the nice flip up half grate to use to cook on. Will be coming back again!

This park has a ton of great amenities. First, you can paddle boat or canoe. There is a disc golf and mini golf course as well. The mini golf course isn’t great, but it’s a fun addition to the park. There are numerous trails with varying lengths. The views are beautiful. There are several picnic areas and there is a small park store. This a great stop if you’re in the area.

The park and trails are rustic. You can rent or bring your own kayaks. Horse trails and fishing all over the park. Rangers patrol regularly. Love the park.
