Nice beach for swimming, terrible trail hike.
Lieber State Recreation Area的点评
点评:Spent a day here as this is one Indiana park I had not yet visited. First - the beach was great. We were here on a perfect hot summer day and had a great time. Not too crowded on a weekday, the water was nice if a little choppy (may have been wind). The beach was clean and relaxing. However, a couple other items made the visit less than ideal. We decided to do a hike first, then cool off at the beach. We took the covered bridge trail - a total mess. Honestly I've never seen a SP trail in this condition. It was covered with tree limbs, sticks, leaves and other litter making it hard to walk. There were no trail markers anywhere. The trail was sometimes difficult to follow as it was partially overgrown in areas. Had to go downhill at a narrow point, and I slid. My feet went out and I sat down hard! Ouch. We had to climb over large fallen trees a few times. The trail finally seemed to thin with no obvious end, so we just turned around rather than get lost. Not the best hike. We left then and stopped at the campstore for snacks. It was pretty thin on snacks and drinks. Ok, but the man running the store was clearly a state park employee, most likely an asst mgr. He was clearly not happy to be assigned campstore duty for the day. He was surly and unfriendly, not what I'm used to at SPs. Whatever. Then we stopped at the pool so we could change into our suits for the beach. Were told we could not use the changing room unless we paid the $3 entrance fee. Seriously....so we finally found an actual restroom with plumbing, so we could change and wash up. (I think all the other toilets in the park are outhouses) This SP is not up to par with the others, probably not great management. It's worth a visit for the beach and the pool does look nice. But their website doesn't even talk about the beach! I had to google for info. There are other SPs nearby that are much better overall.
