My family and I really enjoyed had a great day at the park. Was able to catch a lot of fish and enjoyed riding our bikes. Want to give a shout out to Dan "Lego Watchband" for being kind and considerate with cleaning a picnic area for us. We will be coming back soon!

A really nice park! A quiet, peaceful state park. Horse trails, hiking trails, BMX trails, and mountain bike trails. Also, there was a Frisbee golf course. Restrooms were kept clean. Friendly hosts. We took advantage of the hiking trails. Wish we could have stayed longer.

My husband and I just got back from a 4 night, 5 day camping trip today from there. It was absolutely beautiful, very well kept up, spacious sites and restrooms were very clean. Fire wood and ice available there on the spot. Very peaceful! Definitely will return many more times.
