Very few sites first come first serve. Right next to the water extremely quiet. It takes a bit to get here because it’s removed from traffic and noise. Playground for kids, decent bathroom one shower. They have a tent sites and RV sites with hook ups. 22-25$

It is a nice, quiet and peaceful park. It is in serious need of updating. The playground is very old, the toddler swings are made of iron (hot in the summer) and have chipped paint. The playground is also very close to the water. The rowboats and paddleboats look worn out. Bathroom was clean. Great for RV and primitive camping if you want peace and quiet and good fishing. We will be back to check out the trails and possibly camp!

How many hiking trails are there in the park? Are there any overlooks, waterfalls or interesting landmarks along the trails?

Sam Ferguson | May 17, 2021
Justin Baumann | May 18, 2021

There a many many trails that no one seems to know about. They are marked by color. Way more trails than just the one around the lake. Just be mindful that they go all over the place and it’s easy to get lost. You’ll eventually make it back to the Grist Rd. But I’ve started out on a trail and ended up very far from where I started. It’s incredibly gorgeous out there tho.

What type of fish are in it

Caden Stough | Mar 18, 2022
Ted Davis | Mar 19, 2022

The lake is stocked with bass, bluegill and catfish. I catch quite a few bass at this lake but they aren't what I would call quality fish. I'm guessing due to over population.
