Rough River Dam State Resort Park

I had to quickly find a room for the night when my water heater broke on me unexpectedly and had an important doctor appt the next morning. Unfortunately, there's not very many options near my house but thankfully it is the off season so vacancy was not an issue. I hadn't actually seen inside the rooms at the lodge since the late 80s and although I expected them to look different, I have to say I was thoroughly impressed! The private deck overlooking the marina and lake first thing in the morning was exactly what the doctor ordered! Even if it was the same view I had seen numerous times while my son was employed there. Check in was a breeze and Chelsea didn't hesitate to run over to our room and help me out with the TV while I experienced a "blonde moment". (Our cable box was unplugged. Lol) But my morning was complete when Brenda's smiling face was there at check out.

We are seniors, and new residents in the area, and we had the joy of having our family visit, all gathered at the lodge for several days, with rooms facing the lake.

As a main point we can highlight the friendliness of the staff and the good food, with a staff at the dining that accommodates your needs, and offers filtered water. My personal suggestion is to add a little more fruits and healthy meals, like fresh fruits juices, to the menu, and some special diets to offer variety.

But above all, the beauty of the natural environment. A very nice peace and cozy atmosphere.

As main facilities they have a beautiful swimming pool with a special ramp for disabled people and a mini-golf course, among others.

Being the area a bit isolated, don't expect the comforts of a big city, even though is very close to fulfilling those expectations only without the noise. But yes, attractive enough to spend some lovely days with excellent comfort and style, and have marvelous memories.

And an exquisite and picturesque gift and craft shop, including some snacks.

Place is ideal to go in groups and spend a day, or a weekend.

note: just ask before opening the bathroom faucet, a bit tangled. Can't comment on TV, as we did not use it. And yes, a mini fridge will be very helpful. Especially if you have medicines that should be kept at a special temperature.
