Elizabethtown is so lucky to have Jones Lake State Park! It is a very well kept park with great trails! The bathrooms were clean and they had nice picnic tables, perfect for a picnic! They had a nice pier you could walk on! I also really enjoyed walking to salter's path! Once we got their they had a nice bench we sat and relaxed at for a few minutes! Overall it is a great state park!
