I can’t believe I live so close to this gem. I love running the different courses, and there’s some elevation/inclines to help with training. Rent out kayaks, canoes, a local swimming hole (seasonal), camping, and so many trails to hike/run. The fishing is great too! It may vary of course, but it’s such a great experience. Great family fun for everyone.

This is a very convinient location for camping. I is gives you a wilderness feel, while being very close to the urban area. Facilities :restroom (hot water, clean) , camping area generous space for cars and tent. Things to do: fishing, kayaking, swimming lagoon, small fun water park, hiking, biking... Ample to spend couple of days or more. We spent two nights, definitely will return.. For more..
