A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER

Mike Hayes

Make your cabin and tent site reservations now and stay with us for a few days. When you plan your visit make sure to include a supply of sunscreen and insect repellent. While visiting or camping be sure to drink extra fluids to keep yourself hydrated. And although biting insect's numbers seem lower this year visitors should be prepared for them. A little forethought and preparation can make your visit much more enjoyable.

Tent pads can be found on sites 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, and 10. These were the sites that puddled and stayed wet the longest. Now you can set your tent up on a 16'X16' sand filled, elevated platform and stay drier.

2 hour and full day canoe and kayak rentals are available on a first come, first served basis at Hontoon Island. Enjoy the three mile round trip hiking trail that leads to a large Indian mound. Bring your bicycles and ride over five miles of service roads in the center of the park. A trip to Hontoon Island is not complete until you spend a few minutes in the museum and Island store. The ferry, which brings you from the parking area to the island runs from 8:00 a.m. until one hour before sunset. There is no formal charge for park entry or the ferry ride although donations are gladly accepted. Tent camping and rustic cabins are open year around. Check with Reserve America (1-800-326-3521) for availability.
