Great lake. The beach area was packed with people with loud speakers and smoking. Not a beach you go to if you want to relax at all. The nature was beautiful the people ruined the atmosphere.

Beautiful state park. Quiet, clean bathrooms and pretty beach area. I love that part of the beach is shaded. Pavilions for a picnic. Nice place to kayak and relax.

Very fine state Park. Great trails if you don't mind a long hike. I want to give this 1 star so the city folks don't show up.

Tuscarora is a limited camping park with just six cabins and three yurts. Other campsites are available at nearby Locust Lake State Park. There is a separate road to the boat launch and the park offers boat mooring. …
