Kilen Woods State Park

This park has the potential to be a much nicer park, just feels neglected. There are 5 miles of hiking trails in the park, none of which were mowed and it looked like it's been a while since they had been mowed. We tried to suffer through the unbearable trails to try to see all this park has to offer. The best thing about this park are the bathrooms and showers, they have lockable shower rooms with warm/hot water. And the bathrooms were clean. We camped at Walk-in camp #2, which seems like the best camping spot at the park - Private, large, tent pad is sandy and elevated slightly which helps keep the tent dry, but there were a few trip hazards, nails sticking out due to the structure they nailed around the tent area rotting away. Also just way too much rotting wood in the walk-in sites area which invites dozens of black flies to the camp. So could be a nice park. Just needs some love..

Quiet smal park not far from I90. Camp sites look very nice, bathrooms very good. Park wood be a good home base for bigger parks in the area or for traveling down the river. Trails are in rough shape and need more signage. All the park markers are outdated and fading. I did see a ton of wildlife for a small area.

Went to hike on a Sunday and had the place to myself. It was fascinating to find this lush area in the middle of corn fields!! The wooded trails that I was on where minimally maintained & narrow in parts. The grassy areas where mowed and wide. I encountered three trail closures and since it was at the end of the day I just looped back to make a shorter hike. Look forward to coming back someday to explore longer. No attendant at entrance. Nice picnic area.
