A visitor noted it as a "fantastic disc golf course" while another mentioned the park "hits all the important stuff... Clear water for swimming and no motorized boats.

Lake conditions: Water levels and clarity fluctuate seasonally. Chain O'Lakes Campground provides boat rentals for fishing the multiple connected lakes. "Lovely campground near the lakes. Tons of lake activities like renting boats to fish (like we did). Our campground was next to nice bathrooms and a sand volleyball court," one visitor noted.
