Driving up to Johnson Sauk Trail State Park was pretty boring. As I passed through flat cornfields my expectations were pretty low. My GPS took me to an old entrance on the North side of the park. FYI if your GPS tells you to turn on N. 1300th Avenue, ignore it and continue driving south about 2 miles. If you ignore my advice you will find the old sign post without the sign. It is one of the pictures I have included.

The park is very clean with a nice lake. The RV/Camper section of the campground has some trees and some wide open spaces. The Tent section of the campground is in the middle of these huge pine trees. It is pretty cool and has a real nice effect.

There is a huge red barn that is an attraction in the middle of the park. It has several walking trails. I don't think I would classify them as hiking trails, but nice for beginners.
