A 14,220-acre reservoir on the Mountain Fork River, known for water clear enough to see ten feet down and a shoreline that's almost entirely undeveloped pine forest.
Most cabins book near the north end, closer to the marina and the state park boat ramps.
The unincorporated strip along Highway 259 just outside the park entrance, where most of the restaurants, wineries, breweries and shops are.
It's grown fast, but it's still walkable-ish and easy to bounce between three or four spots in an evening.
The 3,482-acre park that anchors the whole area: trails, a swinging bridge, a nature center, canoe put-ins on the Mountain Fork, and the old CCC-built lodge.
Most first-time visitors underestimate how much of a trip can happen inside the park gates alone.
