This beautiful wooded area has picnic and camping areas. Several springs in the park provide excellent pure water. Other features of this park include marked hiking, horseback and snowmobile trails. It's a photographer's dream in the fall when leaves turn to their colorful hues. There is a horse stable nearby that rents mounts.
