Beautiful park. Kind of steep. Great camping for those that want to be alone. The bathrooms and showers were clean. The staff was very nice pleasant to talk to.

First rate state park for camping. There are some hiking trails. I did not have time to give them a look. Also, I think the Blair Witch was on the trail behind my campsite.

A great place to go walking and enjoy the scenery. Spent about 2 hours here just hiking on the multiple trails. The lake is also a good spot to kayak on or to have a picnic.

What are the fishing limits

deb wellman | Dec 6, 2019
S Jones | Dec 7, 2019

I'm not sure I don't fish but I do know that they drained the like for over a year to reconstruct the dams. They just refilled it and I believe they have also stocked it. No camping at this time because they are reconstructing the camp sites

Is the lake all done?

Miranda Saunders | Dec 6, 2018
Jimmy Leahy | Dec 7, 2018

Yes. The lower dam it's complete, the lake is open and all of the grass is in, it looks great! They are adding another pedestrian bridge over the upper dam to connect the trails to the camp area which will take place August/September and may involve lowering the lake level a few feet during construction. The state should restock the fish in the spring of 2019, the deeper water should help a bunch for the trout

Rob Hobson | Dec 6, 2018

County is refilled, stocked with gamefish and open to visitors following construction completion of a new dam, spillway and other related improvements. The refilled lake received a stocking of largemouth bass, channel catfish, sunfish and bluegills in early May, which will provide a continually growing sport fishery. That was posted 6/11/2018

We are booked there from July 1 for two weeks. Are the RV sites paved? We will be doing a lot of motorcycle riding while we're there and just wondering if the roads in and out are paved or not.

Casey Todd | Dec 6, 2018
Paul Rogers | Dec 7, 2018

The rosds are paved and some of the slots near the front are concrete. The rest have some gravel in them and might be slightly unlevel. As stated above check your length, only a fee spots will take the longer campers.
