Excellent location to Stand up paddle board or Kayak. Beautiful drive out to the state park and lots of hiking
Boat, fish, and swim on the tranquil waters at Gunlock Reservoir or enjoy an afternoon picnic on the beach. Warm waters during summer and a mild winter climate make the park a year-round destination.
