Official listing
Bring insect repellent
Big bugs and mosquitoes are active at night, especially if your child will be fishing on the lake.
Check hours before visiting
The park has restricted weekday boat rental hours and specific lake access times, and website information may not be current.
Great for fishing trips
The lake is regularly stocked with trout, catfish, and bass, and boat rentals are affordable and well-maintained.
Arrive early on hot days
Hiking the trail after 1 PM with minimal shade becomes uncomfortable, and you'll need plenty of water.
Plan for peaceful weekday visits
Weekday trips offer quiet, uncrowded experiences, while weekends draw many boaters and visitors.
