3 months agoThis place is sooo much bigger than you think... there's a few trails that lead back to the main road. Lots of pretty scenery! Great place to clear your mind! Not to mention you can fish here (mainly bass)!! It's a $5 daily fee and I think it's like $60 year round!! I know I enjoyed myself and I think you would too!! But please please please!!! Let keep our parks clean!

2 months agoI didn’t use the trails. I only camped. The camping sites are the lowest possible. A fire ring, one faucet of the oldest possible kind, and two portable toilets for bathrooms. That is all. And trash everywhere around the lake. Frankly, a little investment in the park and its facilities is absolutely necessary. It is so sad.

2 years agoSmall park with only a few short trails. It is nice for younger kids & families. There were a few educational items on one trail. Bathrooms, fishing locations, streams, picnic tables, grills, tent & RV locations on site. Paths are rock & not made for wheelchair or stroller.
