Beautiful Massive State Park with lots of options on what to do

Hickory Run State Park, this was our second effort.     Last year it was a complete, cold, rainy washout.    We didn't have a chance to do much.   This year, however we got to explore and really enjoyed ourselves.     We went on a couple of long hikes, here and also in the neighboring Lehigh Gorge State Park.     There they have a path that follows the mountain river and it offers a relaxing hike with wonderful views.      The hiking within the park has a good mix of trails, some areas, pretty difficult, starting with "The Shades of Death Trail".     The mixture of forests, fields, rocky, rooty terrain, and the different altitudes,  makes for some great trails to see things, but will also really wear you out.      The Boulder Field is a must see.     This is something that just makes you think, it is beautifully strange.     It looks like they also have a nice swimming lake and in our area that had large well kept level fields to do outdoor games and a mini-playground.      This park really should be 5 stars, by I just can't do it.    After stopping in to one of the bathrooms in the campground area, it was plain disgusting, I wouldn't even go there, waited until we got back to our camper.     Felt really bad for the tent folks if that is how all of the facilities are.    The Visitor Center was nice, cell phone reception is not good, at least with Verizon.       Too bad about the bathrooms, the rest of the park is awesome.
