Learn more about alerts →Groups wanting exclusive use of a private, wooded site with a sandy swimming beach, a 4-mile lake loop trail, disc golf, and paddling all within walking distance. Fall weekends are the sweet spot, with comfortable temps and the hardwood forests at their best.
No showers here, just vault toilets, and reviewers flag an aging bathhouse with occasional water odor. If anyone in your group needs modern restroom facilities, this rustic setup will be a problem from day one.

Fall offers the best combination of comfortable weather and spectacular scenery. Daytime highs typically range from the mid-40s to mid-60s°F in September and October, with crisp nights. Hardwood forests around Sessions Lake peak in color, making hiking and wildlife viewing exceptional while crowds thin compared to summer weekends. Cooler temperatures mean fewer biting insects and more pleasant biking. Be aware of early-season hunting in November and wear blaze orange if you're on the trails.
