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.

Fun area!

Very nice and relaxing setting. We enjoyed the hiking trails and canoeing. The rates were really good for canoes, $6 an hour down a very peaceful neck of a lake.
