Quiet beautiful setting with nice trails thru 2nd growth forest. Some of the local fauna were chipmunks , squirrels and even a young deer. Slept in a cabin and did not mind an all day rain falling on us. The dam is amazing and hand built.

Stayed here for 2 nights with my family in our motor home. The campground is well kept and the facilities were clean. It was very quiet and we had hiking trails leading right from our camping area into the woods. The park is a great place if you like thick forests and wetland areas. Lots of vernal pools. My kids had a great time with the small bubbling spring near the lake, since we convinced them the water was boiling until they put their hand in it. The environmental center is excellent and shouldn't be missed. The biologist that runs the center was extremely knowledgeable and did a great presentation on woodpeckers that was geared towards children. She also let me and my son borrow a book on mushrooms so that we could collect some edible varieties that were growing in the forest. Can't wait to go back.
