King Grey nearly ruined our wedding day. We scheduled King Grey to run three laps from pickups…read morespots in Springfield to our wedding venue. After the first group boarded and say that was everyone, the driver took that as that was the whole wedding - and after dropping them off, he went home! We had 100 guests stranded at a hotel waiting on a bus that didn't come back. Neither the driver nor King Grey management provided a day of point of contact so we had no way of getting in touch. fortunately Michael's Limo (another nearly service) agreed to pick up the guests within the hour and saved the day. The worst part was that when I booked King Grey, they told me that other services in the area weren't "reliable". If only I knew they were talking about themselves! King Grey did refund me the full cost of the shuttle for the mistake (thus the second star) but I much rather would have had the wedding go as planned than have gone through this.

This year they are going to be rebuilding the dam at the end of the lake, so that should be worth exploring next year. Last year, we learned how to sail, which was a real treat. We were in the correct season to get to be able to pick fresh wild blueberries from our kayaks!! We made a great syrup with them, and had it over ice cream...yummmm. ====================================================== In response to the person that has trouble with stairs: I think all the cabins have some amount of stairs, the white one has the fewest (maybe one?). In order to get down to the lake, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE ANY STAIRS. My mother-in-law has bad hips, and she doesn't use the stairs. All you have to do is either go around the house to the right, or walk all the way to the left in front of the green cabin, and there are NO STAIRS. The lawn is very gradually sloped on both of those paths. You can even get to the lake by walking directly in front of their porch...without stairs. Look at picture number two (that I took years ago), there are NO STAIRS under the flag on the left OR near the small red tree on on the right. The stairs mentioned are directly in the center of the picture under the arch.

The Hubbard River, a fairly wide and fast flowing body of water, is followed by a paved closed road that formerly lead to a now defunct campground. This route crosses the entire park - which is about three and a half miles.

It wasn't crowded at all on a sunny Sunday, and I enjoyed this place tremendously.

It's a 1.5 mile forest loop of pretty much easy difficulty. The terrain is mostly flat with just a few small inclines. The path transitions from pine needles to grass to heavy leaves and is mostly unencumbered, save for a few rocky patches, some tree roots, and muddy tire tracks here and there. We parked at the State Forest Headquarters, traveled North on the HQ Trail N, turned left onto the Corduroy Trail, turned left on the CCC trail, and completed the loop by taking another left onto the HQ Trail S. All of these trails were clearly marked with fantastic signage and blaze markers. It was amazing to us how after about ten steps into the trail, you are in total solitude in the woods. We didn't see another human being during our 1.5 mile hike. The forest scenery is very pretty, but there wasn't a lot to see -no waterfalls, almost no water views, no cool rock formations, and just one lonely footbridge over a swampy section. For a low impact introductory hike, this really suited our needs.
