It's a beautiful park, and has an amazing view of the Madison skyline. However, the bathrooms are a little gross, and there are no garbage cans. But the park is beautiful. It has a large sandy beach and a wonderful picnic area. It also has a great boat landing.

Took the canoe out here and could not even get into the water without getting yelled at by assholes with big fancy boats. The sad part is they were yelling at us to get out of the way because we were taking to long but there was four other places for them to put in there boat. Rude people. I guess its more for tubing and boating and not for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. It was also very dangerous in our canoe there the boaters barely even slowed down for us and there wakes almost knocked us over several time. We had to leave after about half an hour because we were almost scared for our lives. Not really much of a state park just an overcrowded beach and a few trails.

Nice state park just north of Madison with some easy hiking trails. Mostly grassland/prairie with a mile or so of woodland hiking with well marked Native American landmarks.

So close to the city, a great quick getaway. Nice trails and an OK beach. Sometimes there can be a lot of goose poop - don't feed the birds!

Our family and dog love the hiking trails here. The beach has a sweet little area for grilling, swimming, sand volleyball, and sand castle building. Restrooms are large and newer. Park has play structures. Dogs only allowed on trails and dog beach, not public beach area.

Plenty of space available to picnic without being disturbed. Great area for recreation!

Really nice hiking trails. If you cross country ski you'll love it even more, they maintain the trails all winter. Beautiful prairies, cozy forest and tranquil lakefront. It's a very scenic park.

I would like to explore the trail system more. Was able to see the boat landing and small swimming area and playground seems well taken care of.

I like the park but as I have hit most state parks this is the one that lacks the most. No point for me to come here. Swimming is not great. Good place for a family reunion or similar event.

The park is not a state park where you can camp and is not very large, but it's a wonderful place to spend the day. The trails are nice to hike and vary between hills and flat and wooded and prairie. The beach and play areas are great for the kids, with a separate beach area for dogs. Lots of picnic tables and grills. There is a boat launch for motorized boats and a nice side area that is well-suited for canoes and kayaks. There's a fish cleaning sink. The trails are groomed for cross country skiing in the winter. You can view the Madison skyline across the lake all year long.
