Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews

July 25 a wonderful place to visit by Elaine Bale

On July 24 we had a family gathering. There were families from Calf, & Wash here as well as locally. We needed to fill water balloons, & the park rangers opened a closet for us to fill them, & returned later to check to see if we needed to fill more. They also helped another member of our group to put the stakes in the ground for a game to of horseshoes. The East shelter was reserved for the day by us, & when group of people came in & tried to take over the shelter the park rangers took care of that quickly & with professional respect towards both groups. Thank you Eagel Island Park Rangers for a wonderful day!
