Hiking notes: The trail was mostly well marked. It was a fun hike, but I wouldn't want to do it again right after a rain. It was a little slippery and treacherous.
Geocaching notes: Many campers at the park. Nice hike to the cache.
Park comments: When we visited in May, the park website said the north entrance was closed, so we drove to the south entrance, only to find a road closure there too. After driving to the north entrance to find that it was indeed closed, we called the park. Near the south entrance was a dirt road that you could turn off on to get to the park, but it wasn't marked at all. It would have been nice if they had put up a detour sign.
