The folks here are awesome and the info and support available from is vast. I don't love the new location - it's tiny, and it feels like there were more so many resources and artifacts at the old location.
A bit hard to see from hiway, but new office has friendly, helpful staff. Free stickers, maps, and a stuffed lynx.
Office not open! Someone inside did come out, but didn't know much about camping in the area. A big waste of time to go here.
Thanks for the help, Hannah! With maps in hand and stickers for kids, the trails can be yours!
Tip: Sneak behind the strip mall to the back corner to find the entrance!
Located in a strip mall. It's a little hard to find. Lots of information used to get our permit for cutting out a Christmas tree this year.
