Not much, but we hope you'll get an idea of how beautiful it is. (Jackson & Scottishlass can personally tell you that the pictures don't do it justice!)


The lovely Jackson (on right) and the indomitable Scottishlass at the picnic site. Ignore the "No Camping" part - Camping is available a short distance (1/4 mile) away.

sxc666: Ohh it looks cool


It's very cool! In more ways than one - the water coming out of the dam is a constant 42 degrees fahrenheit. Scottishlass did a little wading yesterday and turned blue up to her knees! laugh

Not sure about "tent service" but there are cabins for rent in the same campground - not sure how far in advance they need to be reserved.

Thought that if we decide to do this again next year, we might rent a cabin for the entire weekend, but - like the lovely Jackson pointed out to me - we need to get through this year before we start planning for next year. laugh

Yep, know what you mean! Jackson's idea of "roughing it" is a 2 star motel instead of a 4 star hotel. My idea of roughing it is going out with a blanket and a knife and then leaving the blanket behind. grin

Don, when we were driving around the park, I remember seeing some tents in one of the camp grounds, just can't remember which side of the park it was on.

'Morning Anne! wave

There are campsites in both areas - We just didn't go far enough into the East Park (where we'll have the picnic) to see the camping areas there.
