From Circleville, take Rt. 22 East. Turn left onto Bolender Pontious Rd. Turn right onto Warner-Huffer Rd. Follow park signs to shelter house which is located near the A.W. Memorial.
I absolutely love watching the sunrise out here! It's so beautiful
Very nice. Clean. Peaceful. Scenic. Swimming kayaking probably even som snorkeling could be done. Water is fairly clear, definitely not Markey or muddy. Could see bottom from dock about 4ft down. Several islands.
We have visited this park a couple of times and have enjoyed our hikes on the Hargus Lake Perimeter Loop. The hiking trail and the mountain bike trails intersect at times, but are color marked if you pay attention to the marked trees and signs. If you miss a sign; however, you may extend your hike a bit longer than expected. The signs note that the hiking loop around the lake is 5 miles. Our fitness tracker and Apple watch clocked it a little over 4 miles instead.
It had been rainy during the week before our hike (and it rained pretty hard for a while during our hike too), so there were some muddy spots. There are a couple of tiny water crossings over logs or rocks and there are a couple of steep hill/stair spots, but they weren't too slippery or more difficult with the weather.
The park and trails are clean and well maintained with nice spaces for fishing, picnics and camping. The lake is peaceful and we are planning to return for fishing at another time.
Walked over dam to other side let my dog swim in lake on 25ft lead. He loves it. My other guy likes to wade in the water. Nice area for picnics tables provided, fishing dock, walking trail, shaded areas. Benches to sit on bathroom next to parking lot. Nice place!
Was a nice park with a nice trail. I took a walk down to see the bottom side of the dam and there were a bunch of blue gills and big a$$ frogs. The only thing that disappointed me was all the trash I picked up people left all over. And also the fact that a rail that's preventing someone from falling is just siliconed together. I guess they wanted to go the cheap route and not pay to have it welded together so it's even more secure.
