Never been to a state park where a reservation was required. Still haven’t because they turned us away, after having driven 2 hours.

This was beautiful and worthwhile. Off the beaten path. Wear good shoes and your swim suit trust me. RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED AND BRING CASH FOR PARKING. You must make the reservations prior. I think its like $20 total and $15 to park. Great family spot!...More
