Visitor Alert!Due to the extended cool spring weather the lakes remain primarily ice covered with some small areas of open water. The Horse Trails are now open and the Horse Campground will remain closed until Friday, May 10th. The park roads to the Picnic Area, Trail Center and to the Beers Lake and Lake Lida boat landing and the Main Campground are open. The Park Drive, Horse Campground, and Knoll Campground remain closed due to the snow covered and wet road conditions.
