It's a beautiful lake and has a nice walk around it (about one hour). There was one 30 to 40 foot muddy stretch that we barely managed to cross without falling in it. It was very crowded with picnickers and kayakers. About 5 miles of the road is like washboard. Very bumpy and some potholes! You can only go between 20 and 25 mph. When we got home, we discovered a lengthwise scrape on the passenger side from parking light to parking light. Hopefully, not by a human. Other than those items, it was a lovely day.
Great park and facilities. Beautiful peaceful lake, great for dropping in a kayak or paddle board. Beautiful forest filled with hiking paths.
Very nice campground. Beautiful lake with a nice trail all the way around the lake for a beautiful walk.
Quiet a few convenient restrooms throughoutthe campground. Looked like nice day use areas with picnic tables too.
An amazing place to spend the day. The road is a bit bumpy going up, but my Honda Civic managed just fine. $3 for day use.
The trail around the lake is well-maintained and pleasant, and the water was perfect for swimming. If you're headed up on a weekend, get there earlier in the day to nab a picnic spot!
