I have taken my kids and a few of their and my own to these sites for years. It is the greatest experience ever. Bring lots of water and prepare to go on hikes where you can find anything. We found a wild boars skull-tusks and all. We have brought a row boat with us because we prefer the no/slow boating areas so we can fish. It's a nice, doable row but might take an hour or so...one way but the privacy is wonderful. The people in charge are very friendly and helpful. There are parts you can take your dogs, the fishing is great and we even found a place in the lake where warm springs were keeping a small area of the lake warm. Wonderful swimming. Terrific trips to remember through time! Highly Recommend! 😊😎🏊🎣🐾
