This is another very cute, quaint park. This is actually one of the first parks we went to when we started our bucket list. We saw the marble mine and wanted to go so bad. So we booked a cabin in the summer. The park was small and very quiet. We didn't see many people there at all. The park itself was very out of the way, and we actually wondered if we were getting lost for a minute. But then we find it and it is very beautiful. There's a small lake to fish and kayak on, with a bridge crossing it. There's a playground and a lot of picnic tables. It's one of the loveliest little places to sit and have a picnic. We took a kayak out on the lake and fed some ducks, saw some turtles and saw one of the biggest fish I've ever seen in person. And we saw a snake eating a salamander.
The hike up to the marble mine wasn't too bad. We saw a lot of tiny little frogs along the way. But seeing the mine was beautiful. The water is sometimes almost blue. It's not big enough to swim in, and I'm not sure you're even supposed to get in it. There's a little cave in the back that doesn't go too far. We would stand under the water that trickled down and cooled off. There is nowhere to swim at this park, but there was a recreation area up the road that we went to...and it was another place that the water just felt amazing.
These cabins were some of our absolute favorite. There were only 4, and if you can't get a cabin, there is a campground also! But these cabins were so beautiful. They had 2 bedrooms with two beds in each, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, living room, two porches with a swing and rocking chairs, and each cabin has it's own grill, fire pit and picnic table. One evening when we were grilling out, the Park Manager David came by and said hi and asked how our evening was. We invited him to come talk and even have dinner. He couldn't stay for dinner, but he was a joy to talk to and was so nice! This is definitely one of our favorites and will love to come back here! If you could swim here, it would easily be 5 stars for us.
