Always a pleasure to visit Stokes State Forest. The wild trout streams, Stony Lake the walking and hiking trails give you ample opportunity to experience wildlife and escape.

very nice remote state park. lots of space. You might want to get a map because you can drive a long way. Lots of nice trails with access to the AT as well. I've stayed in the Shotwell area (lean-to's) and Lake Ocquittunk area (cabins) both are well kept. No showers in the Shotwell area. The lean-to's are really an enclosed shelter with a woodstove (nothing else)

Questions & Answers

Good Morning....as a frequent visitor to Stokes, especially the Lake Ocquittunk area, I was wondering if the Wapallane Rd could be opened for a day or 2 during the autumn for us photography buffs? Even maybe by invitation only? TY MEP/Jefferson

Think it's open

Where to park for a picnic

That is dependent on where you choose to picnic. If you picnic near Stoney Lake there is plenty of parking. Then it's a matter of unloading your stuff, walking in & picking a spot. There is also a picnic area at Kittlefield & a parking area there as well.

Enter Stokes Forest State Park off of 206, go in maybe 1/4 mile, first left turn, there is a sign pointing the way, keep going can't miss it on your right. Use your smart phone, Google maps.

Are they planning to reopen the lake for swimming ever again?

Yes, the cabins are back in use. Hard to book so book early. We never had a bad rental experience.
