jetties provide excellent shoreline access for
anglers. An 11-mile limestone hike/bike trail and

hike/bike trail connects to the town of Pierce.

Modern restrooms and showers, playgrounds,
an unsupervised swimming beach, a disc golf and
archery course, and areas open to hunting (no
rifles) add to the year-round opportunities. There is
a dump-and-fill station for campers located north
of the Pierce County Court House.
