We love running here with our dogs. The park is huge and there are so many well marked out trails, paved and not paved. If you had a bike you would be in heaven here! More

My family has camped in cabins all over the place and has had some good and some bad experiences in the past. This, however, was a GREAT experience.

Camped on Fearings Pond - it was so pretty. The tent sites are very close together (at least in group h). Unfortunately, there is no swimming now due to high water levels and bacterial levels.But the views and hiking are nice. More
