This is a really nice, smaller, quiet state park and lodge. We felt welcomed in every part of the park and the manor house. The staff was incredibly warm and friendly. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of five is that they are very short staffed right now in the manor house and so some cleaning details were missed, (cobwebs various places indoors and the soap dispensers in the bathrooms looked like they had missed a few cleans). They are also in the process of renovating the guest rooms, so I can imagine that everything will be back up to top shape in the next few months. While we were there we played disc golf, enjoyed the pool, enjoyed the evening on the patio, hiked near the lake, went canoeing and visited the nature center. Be aware that canoes and kayaks are available to rent at the campground as the marina has closed.

Very nice park with water and electric hook ups. Lots of activities and hiking. Bathrooms are clean. Some sites are a bit narrow if you have a class A motorhome.

Easter brunch with multiple delicious choices-- carved prime rib, ham, lamb, and tilapia with homemade mashed potatoes and lemon rice, carrots, green beans. Delicious roasted red pepper gnocchi.Salad bar with a variety also, and shrimp. Desert selection of 4 different cakes/pies. Quality food and exceptional service. Full bar available, and reservations book quickly. They accommodate groups.There was even a Easter Bunny for photos!

Gorgeous State Park in Ohio. It was a little confusing trying to find the boardwalk on the lake marsh. I didn't really see any visible signs from the parking lot advising, otherwise I would have given five stars. Great view all around. When …

Looking for a primitive site that is somewhat secluded for my wife and I. Are the sites spread out here where we won't here the conversation of the group next to us?

Steven Gauer | Jan 24, 2020
John McCurry | Jan 25, 2020

There are primitive sites that you walk into. Not far a 100 ft or so. They sit on top of a wooded hill. They were not heavily used when we visited so they were nice and secluded but if multiple campers chose to camp there then they will not be so secluded.

Are there any handicap trails

Jacqueline Waligora | Jan 24, 2020
jaynette rose | Jan 25, 2020

I always say when in doubt call to be sure. I'm just not sure about the handicap trails, however it would be a very loving and considerate as well as a humane act on the part of all public parks don't you think. There should be someone we could contact to make this mandated. It would show the utmost highest respect we have for ones with special needs and their families. I'm just saying!!!!!
