"My 1st lake since being out in Indiana. Nice that the friend that took me and my family had a boat. But we've been missing water since leaving Hawai'i. It was super fun. Can't wait to go back"
"Excellent state park. Bathrooms smelled like bleach upon arrival! We loved the archery trail that they offer. The deer stand on the archery trail does need some repair on the top railings. Don’t lean on the rails."
