Crowleys Ridge State Park

Perched atop the unique geological wonder of Crowley's Ridge, this family-friendly campground offers the best of both worlds: a 31-acre lake perfect for casting a line or paddling peaceful waters, plus a refreshing spring-fed swimming lake complete with sandy beach and inflatable play features. Historic CCC-era stone and timber structures dot the landscape, while shaded campsites nestle beneath towering hardwoods just steps from the water's edge.
