Such a beautiful hidden gem we took a nice trip up to explore the trails and before you know it you’ve already adventured more than 3 miles and still so much more to see. They have a pretty decent size camp ground with cabins you can rent and an awesome some little beach to swim and fish.

I love this place. It is picturesque, serene, and humbling. The way the river carves it's way out into the earth, it is remarkable to think the time it takes.
