WEST loop review

This is a sizeable state park with a few different sections and many miles of forested trails to hike. We only stayed one night so didn't hit many trails, but the Dam itself is stunning with a beautiful overlook, and the small trail across from the Dam has a story for kids and nice lake views. We also found a soot there to put in our paddleboard and swim for a bit. There is no beach here, but a couple of dedicated fishing spots and trails from which you can access the lake. The water was clean and cool. The sites on the west loop are nicely spaced on the outside, and all back up to nice forest. Inside loop sites are less private, but still spaced well. The outer sites are very short in length, so you'll need a 25' camper or less. Ours is 21 ft and we had to disconnect and park next to it, which seems to be the intent. Picnic table, grill, and fire ring with grate. Bathrooms and playground are very nice. All of the sites on the outside are very well spaced out. The road coming in is a true mountain road, just gotta take it slow.
