Very lovely state park. I would say it's a quieter park at least when we went during the week. Quarry loop trail has remains from the active quarry days with some history behind it. As of right now, pretty much all of the trails have downed trees on them that you have to navigate through or around. Skunk trail is more on the overgrown side, so not the best for small children. We took our dog and we had a blast! But make sure to load up on bug spray!

One of my favorite State Parks to hit up when visiting my home state. Especially it being dog friendly and the best smaller waterfall to enjoy! We have also camped here before and enjoyed our quiet weekend!

Banning is on the list of favorite state parks. Great history to read about along the trails. The views in the early fall are exceptional. Just a heads up for those that prefer an easier hike - there are some more rocky parts to this trail.

What a gem of a park! Plenty of trails, easy for the whole family or if you're like me, hiking solo embracing in nature and what the park as to offer from Wolf Creek Falls to Quarry trail that runs along the Kettle River. A must hike!

To be honest, I didn't pay it much mind, but I do know that when we got back to the car I was able to search for music and my maps with no issues. Hope that helps.
