The lake is beautiful. Go before 9am and you'll mostly have it to yourself. The sunrise is breathtaking in May. Lots of nesting birds, including herons, so be careful not to disturb them. More red wigged blackbirds than I've seen in one place before. I'm not a birdwatchers, but if you are coming to this lake with a kayak or canoe and enjoy a sunrise, it's worth it. But I went for fishing in my kayak and we'll I ended up bird watching if that tells you anything.
Also the parking area is very muddy and washed out / rutted. Don't bring a nice freshly washed car.
Went on the lattern walk in December. It's was free and fun. You could donate money to help our beautiful parks.
small public launch. N|ot much boat traffic out here.

Beautiful in the fall! Lots of natural trails where you can take in the fall colours and enjoy views of the park’s many lakes
We visited this park to see fall colors. It’s very peaceful and quiet . There are good colors in the park. A nice place for photo shoots. There is kids play area, washrooms, a lil beach for kids to play. It is worth visiting . Fall colors were beautiful today

This is a beautiful park with a lot of good trails to walk. My only complaint was that the bathrooms were locked during the week, but I totally understand since it's the off-season.
I like to come here to ride my bike. I have a road bike so I do not use the mountain biking trails. I just ride on the side of the paved road.

This is a very attractive park. The beaches in particular are very clean and inviting. There are lots of hiking and mountain biking trails, playgrounds, shelters, picnic areas, fishing areas, and a couple of boat launch areas.

I think this would be a great place to come with the family for a beach day.

The park is big and beautiful with lots of areas to keep your events, such as family barbecues, picnics, birthday parties & so on. There is a big beach here as well. There are restrooms, lots of parking, trails to walk or hike.
It's also a state park, so you have to have the state park pass on your vehicle already or pay $18 at the gate for a state park pass for the year before entering (they don't sell the day pass here for this park).
The state park campground is located near a very pretty little lake ( five stars) however the roadways of the campground are extremely crowded and the sites very close to each other. The roadways can get to the point of not being able to drive to your site with a trailer in tow. No privacy at all. Having some more mature staff may help enforce the rules. The staff were pleasant but very young .
Even though it appeared to be alot of people when we pulled up...there actually wasn't. Seven lakes has alot of trees ,so there is plenty of shade. We moved a picnic table under the tree of our choice. Pet friendly, too. Says no dogs on the beach, but I took my Rat terriers and let her swim on the edge of the beach area, and nobody said anything! A lot of people brought their dogs. Quiet and screne. Friendly people. They have many grills. A lot of people kayak here. Great family fun.
Peaceful not the greatest fishing as I kayaked whole lake without a single bite but I guess I may not know what I’m doing lol

The parking area is small, lake was nice and serene however. Scuba diving was tough. Weedy and very murky

Great for a small boat or paddle board. The people fishing there said there were not many 🐟 in the lake. There is an outhouse. The water is clean, with lots of seaweed, pine, and other underwater plants. It was really pretty.

Great place to take your dog for a quick dip in the lake. It's quiet and has limited parking. Nice kayaking lake too
