点评:I wish I could give this state park 10 stars! I had booked a cabin in advance, and was terrified that my family was going to be miserable for 2 whole days in a "rustic cabin". We ended up having such an amazing time that we could have stayed longer. The cabin was incredibly spacious, clean, and full of amenities (cooking supplies, bedding). The only thing it lacked was a TV, which we don't usually watch too much of anyway, so we didn't care.
The park itself has so much to offer, from hiking trails to the spectacular rock formations of Natural Bridge and Hazard Cave to kayaking (only $8 rental for the hour!) along the small lake and under the stone arch. It has a small sand beach where you can swim or watch the bats fly at night and is only 2 miles away from an official dark sky park (though you can obviously enjoy the night skies right here as well!).
Also close by (within about 10 minutes) is Pogue Creek Canyon, which has its own amazing hiking trails to out of this world rock formations. The visitor center has maps that they provide to these areas, but also consider using Avenza, as the trails can sometimes be confusing in spots.
The staff was very accommodating and helpful. If you have any reservations about coming here, push them out of your mind! It's a real gem. My kids ranked their stay and hiking here above Great Smoky National Park!
翻译:我希望我能给这个州立公园 10 颗星!我提前订了一间小屋,很害怕我的家人会在“乡村小屋”里痛苦地度过整整两天。我们最终度过了一段美妙的时光,我们本来可以待更长时间。小屋非常宽敞、干净,设施齐全(烹饪用品、床上用品)。唯一缺少的是电视,反正我们通常不会看太多,所以我们不在乎。
公园本身有很多值得参观的地方,从远足小径到天然桥和危险洞穴的壮观岩层,再到沿着小湖和石拱门划皮划艇(每小时只需 8 美元!)。它有一个小沙滩,您可以在那里游泳或在夜间观看蝙蝠飞行,距离官方暗夜公园仅 2 英里(尽管您显然也可以在这里欣赏夜空!)。
附近(大约 10 分钟内)还有波格溪峡谷 (Pogue Creek Canyon),这里拥有令人惊叹的远足小径,可通往世界上绝无仅有的岩层。游客中心提供了这些区域的地图,但也可以考虑使用 Avenza,因为有些地方的小路有时会令人困惑。
工作人员非常乐于助人,乐于助人。如果您对来这里有任何保留,请把它们抛到脑后!这是一颗真正的宝石。我的孩子们将这里的住宿和徒步旅行评为大烟山国家公园之上!
