Great weekend camping trip! Just enough to do leisurely over two nights. Beautiful campsites and the bathrooms are kept up well. Overlooks on the Mississippi River are great picnic spots! Hiking is great for intermediate level hikers. The trail on the furthest overlook was not updated on the map we received though so be careful if you try it! Hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful!

Great state park to get a eagles view of the Bald eagles over the river. And the view of the Mississippi river is great. Don't expect allot in middle of winter. We don't but it's clean and well maintained

The day we went, (Jan 27, 2018) the weather was excellent. However, some trails were closed. We figured it was due to the freeze/thaw cycle, and that they weren't safe. However, the trail we took (High to Goldenrod to Aspen to Bittersweet) was near perfect. A bit muddy, but safe. There was a little bit at the end that was required careful placement of feet, but otherwise good.
