I tented overnight night at sight 6 and had a great time. Not too much traffic to the restroom which was only a couple sights away and close enough to the beach trail to the visitor center and trail head, where I took the Norberg Lake Trail. My sight had packed gravel with a layer of pine needles that created a soft pad for my Napier backroadz tent. I rented a Kayak around 2 o'clock and went around the north bay and across from the beach, it was a little windy and I had a long drive ahead of me so I returned it around 5:30. Renting for 4 hours is $16 and well worth it even for less time, you can also rent all day if you had more time and would like to explore the entire lake. I saw a few small deer while out on the Kayak. The stars were amazing! I was also pleasantly surprised that the visitor center had a microwave that was so clean I felt like I was the first one to use it! The beach area was perfect for a picnic as well!
Quaking Aspen camping cabin was a wonderful way to enjoy our 5 days. Wirh lake access, we kayaked every day, hiked and grilled at our fire ring. The cabin was spacious, immaculate and private for these two older folks who needed to get away from the stresses of city living
Great state park! We visited here for the first time and will be back. Kids 10, 8, 5, we tent camped. Spacious sites, plenty of little docks to bring kayaks and canoes, small little beach area, clean bathrooms and showers. Kayak, boat, and canoe rentals available for a good price. Friendly staff!
This is a great up north park. The highlights are the beautiful lake, scenic pines, and wonderful campground and day use area. It's really a good park for families. The campground is next to the lake so you can bring your boat right to it. It is also walking distance to the beach area. Trails are fun but limited and could be improved to highlight the lake more.
Such a cool state park! Went backpacking here; which I highly recommend. Our campsite was right next to the blueberry lake, so waking up each morning there was an amazing view. The campsite itself was relatively large! We had enough space to set up our tent, have a bonfire, and set up our hammocks. The campsite is verrrrry spacious; there is also a short path that leads you directly to the lake. They also have bear storage which was really nice being that far into the park. There are a few trails at the state park as well. I really enjoyed the Norberg loop; very scenic and you get to walk passed two lakes.
