This is a really pretty park with some beautiful hiking. The hike to Flat Rock is strenuous, but the view is awesome. The beautiful Cumberland Valley Rail Trail is 15 minutes from the park. There's also a bunch of geocaching in the area. My only complaint is that our site #4 was really close to the sites on both sides of us. The non-pet sites up on the hill seem better spaced.
