This county park is AWESOME! Wide open, very clean, WELL MAINTAINED, and plenty of activities: canoe rentals, walking trails, plenty of pavilions, lake with three boat launch lanes with 4 NICE floating docks, 40-ish camping sites, and THE BESTEST is the trails (mountains) through the trees that you can walk or mountain bike through. When I say through the trees, you literally can walk/climb through the roots of these GINORMOUS trees where the rain has washed all the dirt out from under them.
