Saint Joe State Park

"Beautiful state park! I was only able to see two of the lakes there because we don’t have an ATV/ORV to explore the other two lakes. They have two swimming beaches and you can rent kayaks too. It’s also near Mineral Area College and Mineral Historical Mine. Really neat area to visit."

"ORV: So much fun! Dirt bikes, ATV, UTV, dune buggy, and regular 4 wheel drive vehicles are welcome. Very kid friendly! So many trails and very easy to follow! Smooth trails, sand pits in the bottoms, Creeks and rock climbing available making it an all in one great place! Changing houses, bathrooms, sitting and eating areas, some BBQ pits and a camp ground on the upper hill that gives you straight access to the riding area! Walking, hiking, horse back riding trails available along with a few kid play areas! Park is very clean! Beautiful views and so much nature to see!"

"Went on the Spur of the moment. You should call for camp site reservations ahead of time. Very nice park, clean, friendly, very family oriented, good trails of all types from sand to rocky hills. Make sure you take helmets and have a 5 ft flag. I had neither and had to buy them on sight. There's a little store that sells them. Riding ends at 8 pm so the evenings are peaceful. Restrooms are within walking distance of campsites. They have wash statioms to spray off your machines, seemed to be pet friendly. Basic camp site was big enought for my truck and trailer and had an area with a picnic table and fire pit (they sell small bumdles of wood for $5. Can't wait to go again."

"Awesome place to go ride, swim or fish. Plenty of lake space for canoeing or kayaking. Awesome family spaces for swimming with sand beaches on two of the four lakes."

"Great day riding at a new place. Lots of different terrains and beautiful scenery. Unfortunately I did not get as many pics today. We had a few issues that demanded our attention with the four wheelers. Despite this we can’t wait to return. Lots of space to really open up the banshees, great trail riding and plenty of difficulty. Trails are well maintained. There are 54 miles of trails. Fortunately they have marked the grounds and give you a detailed map. Bringing the rv here is an absolute must for a few days. Huge concrete sites with very nice picnic tables and yards. Only down side is there are dump stations instead of full hookup. But overall this is one of the nicest places we have ever visited. Price is also unbeatable at 5.00 an atv. Think we found a favorite local spot for sure. #WorkHardPlayHard #BansheeLife"
