Reviews
"All cabins have the necessary amenities, including cookware, extra blankets, and Wi-Fi (if you must be on the web in this environment!). The small rustic cabin I stayed in was super clean and very comfortable. I was loaded with firewood (you can buy extra if you need more than the free allotment) and completely prepared for the rain and snow during my stay. It was a wonderful, quiet, restful experience. Bring all the groceries you need - the closest grocery store is about 30 minutes away (although there is a quick stop within a mile or two of the park)."
"Intense hike starting from the Howards lick trail head, up a service road, then to the White oak trail. There were some cut throughs (steep) instead of taking the switchbacks. The views were well worth it and a fun little picture opportunity!"
"Awesome cabin, hike and the employees of the state park. It was a great experience. We took a cabin for and Everything was perfect."
"One of the best state parks I have visited. There are plenty of picnic area tables on lush green carpet like grass and it has cabins too. There are lots of trails to do, but the best is Cranny Crow Outlook trail. The park restroom needs upliftment and park service should create designated parking lot for White Oaks trail (Cranny crow)."
"Great place to have a picnic (lots of tables) with your family or spend a few hours outdoors hiking. Play on the baseball field, slide, swings or teeter totter. Flush toilets. Simple and well maintained."
