I've been going here since I was a tot. Nothing's really changed though. They have a pool and a long beach on Big River. It's shallow enough to be kid-friendly. We like to take our dogs down to that field when no one is there. There's some great hiking and historic sights. Plus a playground by the beach. Never seen any patrolling officers but they're not necessarily needed. It's a peaceful place to go.
This place is great for hiking with great scenic views. It would be better if they would open it up to rock climbing. There's a couple really nice bluff lines there.
The beach is a great place to bring the kids. There's big mud slides for them to play on.
This park is great! Swimming options in the river are free and nice but the beach is pretty rocky, so bring water shoes. The swimming pool is nice too. Hiking isn't too bad and there are multiple trails with nice views.
WARNING! BEWARE! If you are a group of young people(don't matter what color you are) looking to go camping avoid this place. You will be profiled and harassed by the park cops(yes they are real police). They will assume you are up to no good and go through all your stuff. I have never been treated like this anywhere especially while out camping minding my own business. We had no drugs (except beer and we are all over 21) and that's what they wrongly assumed we had. They will spy on you with binoculars in the dark, no joke. So think twice before coming here to camp.
Love this state park. Great hiking for everyone, good campsites, and you can always find a nice quiet place here. The river is a river, so obviously be cautious upon entering, the current tends to be strong in that stretch of river most of the time. Best when water levels are a little low so kids can play safely. Great photo ops eveeywhere!
