This place is an amazing place for a family with kids. There are several hiking trails and mountain biking trails. If you are a horseback rider, then there are several trails for horseback riding. We were there in December and it was very pretty and peaceful. We stayed there in a cabin. They have a master bedroom, and a kids room with four beds (bunk beds ). They only have one bathroom . The kitchen is really nice and spacious. Be mindful that there are a lot of mice due to the cabin being located in the woods. As long as you put away your food at night, there should not be an issue. In that trip, my most memorable moment is night time star gazing. If the visitors are low, the parks let you rent a very nice telescope during your stay. If there are many visitors, you may have to reserve the telescopes. The park was associated with the dark skies international association. During our visit, we saw our milky way galaxy . In addition, we met very nice local folks who are very knowledgeable about star gazing and universes. They even had a home made telescope which they shared with us . We saw a lot of stars, nebulas, globulars, planets, and many galaxies. It was very very nice. The sunrise and sunset was amazing. We saw many types of animals such as blue herons, robins, and there should be a white deer(we didn't see it but the rangers told us and showed us the photo). One more thing I would highly recommend visiting there with families.
