Absolutely beautiful park! Friendly staff. Nice, low grade trails to walk. Some trails are handicap accessible even. Nice beach and food court with ice cream, burgers, pizza and other small food. Boat rental place with kayaks, paddle boats, canoes, and small boats to enjoy the water or fish from. Good information center to the wildlife and limestone kilns. Great trails.

Cool park! Went to the limestone kilns. Nice easy walk to get to them.

Canoe Creek State Park has several good hiking trails and historical limestone kilns. I especially enjoy the trails that allow a complete circuit of the lake. One time around the lake is just over four miles.

Serene! Gorgeous park with a nice beach area, fishing areas, boat rentals, and concession stand (concession stand only open on weekends 🫤). Kids loved fishing there. We saw lots of wildlife. We stayed in cabin 3. I recommend bringing a fan or two, as there is no AC in the bedrooms. We left the bedroom doors cracked at night and it was comfortable. The cabin was very clean, aside from the lamps that needed dusted. All in all we were very happy staying here!

Nice maintained and clean hiking paths and general walk areas. Clean and well kept pavilions. Super friendly park staff and park rangers. Near the kilns it would have been neat if there was some historical marker or information like in other state parks that detail their historical significance. But its definitely still worth a look. Great views of the lake from all around.
