Known for its popular camping area, Locust Lake State Park nestles on the side of Locust Mountain. The 52-acre Locust Lake is located between two campgrounds and is surrounded by beautiful forests. Hiking and fishing are popular activities in the 1,089-acre park.
The 282 campsites, some with electricity, are divided into tent or trailer sites that encircle the lake. Tenting is permitted on the north side of the lake and the trailer facilities are located on the south side. All areas are within easy access to swimming, boating, fishing and hiking facilities. A paved bike trail one mile long circles the lake and gives an excellent view of the lake.
