Love this park. Have camp her in the past, will continue to camp her. Park host we very friendly and helpful. With a plethora of trails, hiking is ideal (also part of the LSHT). The lake level was low, which was unusual, but it’s been hot with little rain this year. The park is clean and well maintained. As I said before, will absolutely return, highly recommend this park if your looking to unplug from the city, or life in general.
