The entrance station is staffed on weekends with our amazing volunteers.
When the station is closed, please purchase a park pass with the self service system: you can pay with cash (exact change), check or credit card.
All of the roads in the park are paved.
PLEASE NOTE: The road through the park is fairly steep. RV's and large vehicles have no issue accessing the campground in normal conditions, but it may be hazardous in icy conditions. Please plan accordingly if wanting to camp in the winter.
The first 2.5 miles of the Dixon trail is a multi-use trail open to hikers, bikers, and equestrians. Please be respectful of others and follow the yield triangle of etiquette. Hikers may continue past the 2.5 mile turnaround point.
