Top 5 Things To Do
- Try your luck fishing on one of the three fishing piers located throughout the park, or relax at the Lakeview Overlook by the campground.
- Visit our CCC structures like the picnic shelter and boathouse, which were built in the 1930s and are still in use today.
- Participate in or watch one of the many fishing and disc golf tournaments held throughout the year.
- Spend the day out on our 160-acre lake, Lake View. Rent a boat, canoe, kayak, pedal boat, or stand-up paddle board for fishing and sightseeing, or bring your own to launch from our ramp.
- Bring your kids out to play on either of the two playgrounds, while the family enjoys a picnic along the lakeshore.
