Lincoln State Park

We hiked the trails in early November and it was beautiful. The paths are well maintained and easy to follow. The fire tower offers beautiful panoramic views and is worth the climb. The lake happened to be drained when we went but it was still well worth the visit!

First of all I want to address some of these "complaints" in these reviews. Are showers "hotel" clean? Uh no it's camping and glamping, if demanding that perhaps don't camp, turn in your tents, or don't rent the cabins. On subject of showers, yes the floors in the preshower area can get wet might suggest putting on something to wear into that area don't mind getting a little wet. The water was not turned off to camping areas because some "budget cuts" maybe when you visited it was off for maintenance issues? Park was relatively clean considering it was memorial day weekend and a graduation going on Saturday. We did witness visitors breaking rules like mopeds on hiking trails, trying to sneak to non boat ramp areas to launch theirs but unsuccessfully lol. Cabins in family areas are to be cl

We spent three nights here camping and exploring. The campground was well kept and the restroom/shower facilities were clean and more than adequate. Mid week was not too crowded but by the weekend most sites were occupied. Rangers patrolled quite often and were always helpful. The lake was beautiful with numerous places to sit and enjoy or to fish if desired. We were disappointed that they did not have the boat rentals available during our stay for some reason. There are several nice hiking trails to enjoy as well. The park has a nice beach area and a camp store.

Camping costs were moderate and we felt it was a goo

Pretty cool to see the lake drained! The concrete turtles were cool discoveries too :) found some cool bottles!

Great park, well maintained. Lots of trails and picnic areas. Nice campground. In the summer, at the lake, one can take sun and swim. A great family-oriented state park. September 1, 2025 At this time the lake has been drained, and the fish have been moved to another lake. Work is done to repair the dam that contained the water from the lake.
