We visited this state park for the reservoir. It is a beautiful and quiet park! Park entrance is $5. There are bathrooms and a fish-cleaning station (although it said closed for the winter). There is a small campground with electrical hookups at the sites but no water hookups. The water is very low right now and the dock is now closed. But the fishing was good and there are still areas you can fish from shore. Or the dam.
We didn't go to fish, but it was quickly apparent that this park was dedicated to just that. There are a couple short trails, but the views in and around the park were beautiful. The locals preferred the neighboring Echo Canyon park for fishing in April, but there were a couple happy campers sitting on the beach here. Echo canyon had about a dozen fishermen just a couple miles away.
I couldn't get over the Meadows area, personally first time seeing something like this for me, absolutely stunning, like a windows wallpaper. Quiet and all you hear is the wind blowing through the tall grass. There are a lot of dirt roads and areas to check out and explore. The Meadows eventually end and take you into the mountains North, which take you out to the 93 highway. Be careful and do not drive into peoples property that is CLEARLY marked.
Lots to do! There are nice bath houses with flush toilets and hot showers, bring your own soap. They have tables, fire rings and shade canopies. Sites are decently spaced and sized. The reservoir has a boat landing, fishing, docks, tables and toilets. There is a fee to use the area. There is a nice drive up along the water. The bath houses are cleaned frequently and the sites are in good repair. The only issue I have is you shouldn't swim in the water, it's too slimy. We saw herons, deer, ducks and lizards.
Camp sites were large, clean and close to the water. There was a large picnic area next to the lake. Definately a good place to spend a week.
