My sister and her husband and I love going hiking 🥾🥾 and we thought we had seen everything that could surprise us, well were we ever wrong! This place was beyond our expectations! The house cave, was the most AWESOME cave we ever seen, to walk around in something that huge was an amazing experience, but to get there you had to walk around what we called the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 🐢 🐢🐢 🐢 LOL The Turtle Rocks were something totally out of this world 🌎! The overlook point was amazing as well! We also hiked Bear Cave and the other one where the bridge was out but we still did the whole hike. Your state park is so beautiful! Can't wait to do it again.
We stayed at the group campground. It was perfect for our Scouts. There were restrooms with hot showers. It is right on Cedar Creek, and you can hear the water going over the small spillway. The Boy Scout trailhead is located right across the street.
I’m visiting from out of state and went hiking here on Christmas day. It was amazing! I did the waterfall hike and the bear cave hike. The trails are very well marked.
They were serving lunch on Christmas and all the staff were super friendly. It was a great visit all around!
