This is a perfect place if you are looking for wilderness, hikes, boating, picnic, trails, and beach enjoyment. The area is a little quiet but you will feel relaxed. I visited with my kids and I don’t find any problem here. We spent 4 hours in this area.
Hiked around the whole lake. It’s a pretty lake, with large boulders and rock formations. The lily pads are pretty neat. Lots of wildlife.
There’s pretty much something here for everyone. A boat launch, kayak rentals, miles of trails, and picnic areas. The views of the lake are outstanding and peaceful.
If you love the outdoors, enjoy seeing some history that helped build this beautiful nation, and are grateful for clean parks…this is a must see!!
It’s not a bad campground. But we didn’t like the pull thru sites. Took us awhile to park, so our slide wasn’t on the road. Had to turn the camper around, being our slide extends further. Was really no space. So if you don’t know this campground. I would say choose a back in site unless you have a small camper.
