This park may be small but is mighty! 44 camp sites, quiet, beautiful water, very well marked trails, great golf course, and TWO little lending libraries! We love it here!

Great little park. You can see the lake from many sites and all are close to the lake. Not the most private camp sites so there is a bit of a big happy family feel to the campground. Two trials are enjoyable. Staff always very helpful. Waycross has some good eats and treats.

Beautiful, small State Park! Nice staff! (Thank you Frank!) Awesome dog park. We had site number 8, direct lakefront. Great place to launch my kayak from.

I really enjoy this place. They have bikes and kayaks for rent. Equipment is okishly maintenance, for a fair price. We have a great time we come here. Kids enjoy the outdoors and I can keep the phone out of all of our hands for a couple hours. If ya like my review hit the like button, it’s much appreciated. Pro tip: sunscreen and bug spray up

Can you go fishing here?

Robert Breon | Jun 15, 2019
Doug Todd | Jun 16, 2019

Absolutely. Bass, warmouth, bluegill, swamp fliers, catfish, maybe a redbreast. From the bank, fish dock, or boat. Go early while it is cooler. You will enjoy it a lot more. And drink plenty of water!

Can you bring in firewood?

pat esher | Jun 15, 2019
Doug Todd | Jun 16, 2019

You can but it is a whole lot safer for our surrounding forests if you use local wood gathered less than 25 miles from the park. The park has wood and, yes, you must pay for it but those funds help support the park. That wood comes from fallen trees that the staff remove so your park stays clean, safe, and beautiful. And that bundle of wood should provide you adequate campfire, probably for more one night.

Are there hiking trails?

George Patton | Jun 14, 2021
Heather Main | Jun 15, 2021

A couple. There's 1 that runs between the campground area and the cabins. It cuts through the woods and has a lovely boardwalk over the lake. I don't think you have to be staying there to use it or anything like that. There's another one that runs along the side of the lake from the cabins to the swimming area - it's short, mostly wooded so you only see the water at the 2 ends . The 3rd section is across the road from the park entrance. It has a few interconnected trails over thataway.
