I enjoyed my stay at this park. Here are a list of things that I loved about this park: The rates for camping or just spending the day were affordable. The park, campsites and all of the facilities were very, very clean. There are many hiking trails taking you through different types of environments. There were many benches that were placed in perfect spots for resting and viewing the area while hiking. The information signs about the fauna and flora, all over the park, were very informative. The people were very friendly. The only bad thing about my trip there was: I didn't bring my canoe. The park had that covered with rental Canoe's and Kayaks, so all was not lost. AWESOME PLACE, I LOVED IT, AND I HOPE TO GO BACK SOON.
