Customer Reviews
We hiked to a beaver lodge between 2 scenic ponds and enjoyed lunch. It was idyllic and isolated because the longer loop trail is closed due to wind fall. But it's fine as an out and back. We found out about the trail closure and the nice picnic spot from the friendly ranger at the station. You must check out out. Great selection of stickers and souvenirs in addition to knowledgeable and friendly staff. The trail was overgrown, but still easy to follow using the trail reassurances/markers. The boardwalk and dam were fun. I would write more but the AI summary is accurate. I will definitely be back in the summer to enjoy the lake.
Lovely place for a stroll, picnic, sightseeing, relaxation, jog, hike, etc.... Mostly flat trails for hiking. Well appointed golf course with ample parking. Lake Shore views, free to enter.
A MUST!! Booked one night, but loved it so much that we booked a second night's stay. It's so peaceful here. Not too many spots available so book early.
Loved spending a fall afternoon there. The lake was beautiful and the sound of water moving over the dam was peaceful. The 4-mile trail needs to be maintained. We encountered 4-6 foot high broom straw in numerous spots with only a tiny foot trail to follow and several fallen trees across the trail that were there before recent storms. We would gladly pay a few dollar entrance fee if that meant clear trails.
Our second time here this month! Sites are so nice, very level and stoned. Nice views of the lake
