We just wanted to get out of the house, do some hiking, have a picnic, and look for the 4 geocaches in this park that we hadn't previously found. A sign near the entrance stated that the hiking trails were closed, but when we enquired at the office, we were told they were open for hikers, but not for bikers, so off we went. We hiked quite a lot of the Bois D'Arc trail and part of the Gnarly Root trail, finding all 4 of the geocaches we looked for. We had a quiet lunch along the Bois D'Arc trail at one of the tables built by the CCC around 1934. This trail winds through the woods, connecting a number of the old CCC rock construction projects. Be sure and look for the beaver lodge not far from the lake shore.
