   State Parks • Nature & Wildlife Areas
   This is a small state park. There is a dirt road that is bumpy and full of holes. The road is not to long and the park is not big.The park is mostly wooded and If you come and visit you will likely not find too many people here if any at all. However if you want to see a beautiful view and sit for a few minutes to relax or just to take a walk, this is the park for that. There are a few picnic tables around. so you can just relax and have a bit to eat. No grill though so bring your own if that is what you want. There are several wild blueberry bushes you can eat off in the early summer if you come at that time. One more thing. No amenities and no cost to get in. See more..
