Very nice State Park
The lake is beautiful, power boat rentals are available, large sites, no hook ups. The rest rooms could be cleaner.

A Retreat from City Life
Far enough from city lights to allow for star gazing around the campfire. A dump station, flushed toilets and showers provide a good level of comfort while preserving a rustic environment and discouraging large rigs.

A great park for our annual Car Club BBQ
We had our first annual Car Club BBQ here last year. Was a beautiful location and was great for our 50 members. This year we plan to have it again and we hope to have 100 members attend. We look forward to another great BBQ.

Nice place to sail
We have been sailing on SR for more years than I care to count. An ideal place for the small sailboater. No big power boats or their wakes to contend with. Highly recommended.
