What travelers are saying

From the main office, you can rent canoes and paddle boats to enjoy on the small lakes and some of the connecting creeks.

Super fishing, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boating, disc golf, mini golf and hiking are some of the things you can do at this park.

Park workers were wonderful and super helpful with hike suggestions and let us even take a quick peak at the campground (closed for the winter).

Stocked trout program

It's getting worst and worst and worst. Something was happening starting last year, and it certainly ain't as good as it used to be couple years ago. I think the stocking trout quantity dropped significantly, and fewer trouts are stocked. I can tell, and probably...More

Nice way to spend an afternoon

I enjoy hiking the trails throughout the park. Every time I hike, it seems like I'm the only one in the park as I hardly ever see another person.
