Beautiful swimming and camping area with lovely trails! There is a vault toilet as well. Unfortunately they want you to camp in the open field instead of in the actual woods. Conservation is very important, please leave no trace.

Quiet out of the way spot on the middle river to camp, or launch a boat. Road is a little rough getting in, but the launch is great..can drive right to water level.
