  • Scenic Lake: Offers stunning views and a tranquil setting for picnics, although spaces can be limited by the lake.
  • Recreational Activities: Opportunities for fishing, swimming, and boating provide a full day of fun, with a designated boat launch area available.
  • Moose Creek Boat Ramp: A great spot for canoeing and kayaking, surrounded by wildlife, including an eagle's nest, making it an exciting location for paddlers.

Tips for Visitors:

  • Picnic Spots: While there are tables and shelters near the lake, consider arriving early to secure a spot due to limited availability.
  • Trail Precautions: When exploring trails, especially west of the lake, be vigilant for ticks. Check thoroughly after your hike.
  • Cleanliness: Visitors are encouraged to use the plentiful trash receptacles to maintain the beauty of the park. Litter can detract from the park's natural charm.

Park had a nice view of a lake, there are some spots by the lake ideal for picnic but space was limited. There are shelter close by and more picnic tables. Lake has a boat launch area as well.

Water, wooded hills, fishing, swimming, boating....nice county park for recreation. But if you go in the woods/trails west of the lake CHECK FOR TICKS. On a recent mid-April walk along trails I found 70+ ticks after just 30 minutes. Deer tick, dog tick and lone star tick.

Canoeing & kayaking with friends. Put in at Moose Creek Boat Ramp. Plenty of parking. The put in is gravel or rock (neither is kind to a canoe, but either is okay for a kayak). Attractions: There are a lot of birds in the cove sheltering that boat ramp and an eagle's nest in one of the trees jutting out of v the water. The cove is designated "no wake," so it's a good float for paddlers. The cove is large enough to get a couple of miles in paddling.

Beautiful and nice area to get out and explore. My only complaint is that some people are rude by leaving their garbage and glass bottles behind when their are trash receptacles everywhere here. My husband and I pick up trash that's not ours almost everytime we visit. I'd give Longview Lake 5 stars if more visitors would clean up after themselves.

We go fishing out there sometimes on our little boat, it seems the last two summers it's hard to catch fish. Don't know if it's been fished out or my terrible fishing.
