We go to Greenleaf so often that I almost forgot that it is a State Park Campground that should be reviewed since we often go for quick overnights or even just to hike. The "Ankle Express" trail is a good lollipop trail that takes you over the road, past the dam, and to the other side of the lake from the proper campground. Once you pass the swinging bridge you can choose to go left by the lake or right up the only real elevation on the trail. The lakeside trail is flatter and is the most used up to Mary's Cove and is a pleasant ~6 mile hike out and back. The trail is marked well and has good terrain. Beware of the hornets on the swinging bridge that sometimes build their nests on the upper portions. We have been told that copper heads are common on the trail/ lake but we have never witnessed any snakes.

Regarding the campground, you have several options to camp with several bathrooms scattered over a hill next to the lake. Many boaters use this park to stay in while fishing only as this isn't a big enough lake area for recreational boating. The sites are mostly spread in different field sand are not leveled but they do have fire rings and tables. This is an ideal spot for young family's as they can choose to do any sort of activities and have plenty of room around them to do so.

If you hike, be sure to check when the trails close for different hunting seasons.
