Many trails to choose from. We hiked a section of Horse Thief Canyon. Nice rock formations. Well maintained trails. There are some water crossings, be prepared for wet feet.

One of my favorite places to hike and kayak. Beautiful scenery and lots of trails. A true hidden gem!

I grew up 30 miles north of here, but I'd never been to this lil hidden GEM!! Lots of trees for shade, nice camping grounds, marina, clean large bathhouse, boat ramps, a playground, swimming beach - absolutely beautiful and charming. We camped in Caving Banks on the south shore near the dam. Im not really into rock hunting per se, but walking around the shoreline I discovered an area glistening like diamonds so I collected some beautiful pieces of quartz for my son who is in to geology. Totally awesome. I will be back with my kid next time (as this visit was a grown up's evening out)! Also, on a side note there are lots of staff on duty this time of year - and they were all friendly and very helpful and happy to help. As were the other campers - friendly but not nosey, minding their own business as you would say. As for the fishing, boo. Not a great lake for fishing. Other water sports, yes but not fishing. They had to repair the damn a few years back and released half the water in the lake & it is thot to have taken alot of fish with it. Some say there's only catfish in there now. Idk, never caught anything there! Lol

Does it cost anything to just visit the park? Also I read you need a vehicle permit. Is that issued by the state or park?

I actually really like Eagle Point. In fact we are there now. There are trees and right next to the lake. The spots aren't that close and right now there is only a couple other campers. That will probably increase later in the month though.
