Beautiful park! Love the little lake.... it's perfect for paddleboards, kayaks, and other floatie adventures. Lots of hiking trails too. I'd love for them to put signs at each of the forks in the trails... we got a bit turned around a couple times on the trails on the east side of the park. This is definitely a do-over park!
This was a nice park. We had this point on our day trip to see if we would like to come back and camp or fish. Well I was without my gear and the fish were jumping and it was an excellent fall day. My loss, but we walked a while and enjoyed the leaves changing and watching the water. Had a great shelter that would be a great place for a get together woth a bigger family. Will be back.
Only 6 miles to wonderful paved bike trail. Racoon River Valley Trail, over 100 miles of trail.
Beautiful scenery. Hope to camp there some day. Fairly clean lake. Update, we finally camped there! Very nice campgrounds. The bathroom and showers were decent and the fish were bitting pretty good. And so where the bugs 😆
Loved walking on trails, the best thing colors in the sky during sunset along fall colors. Serene place. Campgrounds, beach, boat ramps, shelters, park benches, kids play area, trails to hike. Liked spotting deer, bucks from trails in the forest.
