Easy Waterfall View Trail
Nice, short trail around the lake with waterfall view is well worth a short drive from College Street. The park brochure advertises one hotel, Clarion Inn & Suites. It’s very old, dirty and all bad reviews are accurate.

Nice park for trail biking, beginning to moderate hiking.
We camped in Chewacla for nearly a month from mid - May and were pleasantly surprised. The park has two small camping loops that offer various types of sites, most with shaded tree cover. Nothing to brag about with the bath houses, but didn't affect us as we are a self contained unit. The park itself is pretty with a large lake, numerous trails of varying degrees, and two small waterfalls. All the trails are multi-use for hiking AND biking, so beware. In addition, the park has really great bike trails, bike parks with ramps, jumps, course, etc. We were lucky enough one day to meet one of men who started the bike trails and he told us all about dragging the old power poles back for the bridge...trail names for him is Pete's Sake. If you are a biker or have kids, this is a great park to let loose on a trail bike!! Staff were all friendly. This is a busy park as the locals all seem to enjoy it as well.

Family Fun at Chewacla
Fun thing to do while visiting Auburn. Family had a great time walking around the lake to see the waterfalls and then swim and jump off the (probably dangerous) diving board in the lake. Well manicured trail with interesting wildlife - banana spiders, birds, frogs, butterflies. Very peaceful and folks on the trail and at the lake were friendly. Will return to explore more at our next visit.
