(Jan 2024) Awesome new discovery for me. A forest owned by DNER but managed by the community. They are doing a great job maintaining the trails, signs and camping grounds. I believe they give tours if you contact them ahead of time. Plenty of trails for easy hiking. You have access to a river and get in. There's a spacious camping area with bathrooms, nothing fancy. There's a parking area, but f there's an activity you have to find parking on the street. The bamboo cathedral is impressive.
This small forest is very close to the road but you start hiking through it and it doesn't matter that at some points you can hear cars at a distance cause it still gives you that sense of peace. Trails are well maintained by the volunteers from the community; yes I know it's a state park but it's the people that live near it who keeps it clean. I actually had the pleasure of meeting one of the volunteers ( a sweet senior) who was mowing the grass as we left and he took the time to talk to us and was happy to hear that we enjoyed the park. They really do an awesome job so please keep this in mind when you visit and take your trash with you. The trails in my opinion are well marked and most of them are a loop so is easy to get around it. We spend a total of aprox 5 hours here. We parked at an activity center. Parking at the street I find it to be dangerous. We hardly encounter people at the park but we always felt safe. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Take plenty of water and snacks. Take lots of pictures and respect nature.
Cons: There is a small museum but it was closed.
Awesome state park that should be visited and sponsored by all. Humble facilities and the staff are all volunteers.
Had a great time by the river in the camping area.
