Grew up out here, The park Has grown a lot since I grew up out here The fishing is gotten a lot better they say there's musky in there there but I've never caught one or seen or seen 1 there is Walleye And a different variety of bass, Blue Gill ,sunfish, Only bad thing is you need a boat to get out where the fish are they knew they need more fishing docks. They need to put one at the South end of the beach area. Nice place to hike and and mountain bike lots of trail, My only complaint is during honeymoon season people need to learn to wear hunters Orange and not tan jackets being foolish walking through the middle of the woods it's not fair to the hunters.
