2 small loop hiking trails that are good for beginners or casual hikers, maybe decent for trail running workouts. Camp sites look nicely maintained. Very clean, access to the lake. Well marked.

Well maintained group campsites, nice trails, clean washrooms with warm water shower, surprised to see automatic hot water shower which was actually not good as we wanted normal or cold water due to hot n sweaty temperature outside.

At site 2 there is one outlet in the bathroom, but it does not work. Need some gravel placed to transition between the sidewalk and ground. It is too high of a drop-off for wheelchairs - dangerous.

Wonderful secluded family place to camp. We actually walked around during the week and no one around. Was really nice.
