“Great state park. Spent a good part of a day fishing with my son around the lake, saw a few Ospreys ( I think) and a few Eagles on northern end of lake. Didnu2019t have much luck fishing but it doesnu2019t change my review . We will be looking into the campground for future visits.”

“Real nice deep clean waterway. Swimmers cove is a great place to chill or go north of 36/37 and drop anchor wherever you want as it's all no wake north of the bridge!”

“Fantastic launch and facilities. This launch and the Marina are excellent and have tons of parking. I really wish the DNR would do something about the geese problem because they are extremely aggressive, prodigious poopers, and a nuisance, particularly for toddlers and those with small children.”

“This place was awesome because I was looking for a place that was well kept, and that I could go fishing at. I never did expect to see a deer coming through the drive and then to see the geese with their goslings oh, and the goslings were really nice sized. I have never seen but little bitty goslings so it was a treat. The restrooms were immaculate and all of the people that I met there were very friendly hey I will ”

“Beautiful lake! Lots of water acreage. Never seems crowded. Lots of parking. Shaded areas. Clean parking and boat ramps. We meet our friends at the New Galena boat launch. Modern restrooms but sometimes they need attention.”
