Very Beautiful
Lots of beautiful spots, some trails are well marked. Signage gets worse, old or non-existent the further you go...some trails not on maps at all. Nice folks working there though...hope some friends group works on getting the trails better marked, trails are well groomed. Swimming areas very nice.
