Park Overview

Bark Camp Lake (45 acres) was created back in the mid 50's to offer fishing opportunities, including regular stocking with rainbow trout and universally accessible fishing piers. The recreation area has campsites (some with electric hookups), picnic tables, an open air amphitheater plus two trails. One path walks around the lake while the other is to a geological formation called “Kitchen Rock”.
