The "beach" is made up of large white limestone rocks which can make it tricky to set up for the day, but this is what keeps most other people out. :) Bring your own shade as there are NO large trees or shaded picnic areas. A beach umbrella can be set up near the water and a pop-up shade tent can be set up-at a level picnic table. There is a small, brick-sided restroom house on the premises. The best part about this park? IT'S FREE! There is no fee for using the lake area or the boat ramp. But, shhhhh! Don't tell everyone. :)

BEST shelter and park we have been to yet. We are extremely impressed! We rented shelter #5, it overlooks the lake and is across the way from the bathrooms, huge plus (I love camping, but don't hover well haha). The restrooms were so so, nothing special, but better than peeing behind a tree. Same goes for the showers, nothing special, but I loved that they were private, offered hot water, and had a little sink in the stall. The shelter itself was amazing! We have never been to a park where the shelters have tarps to cover the screened areas. You can tie them up or lock them down, perfect for privacy or blocking out the wind on cold nights. We also brought a lock to lock the shelter while we were away, but with multiple gates to get to the shelters we felt very safe. We came in late and left early, so we unfortunately did not get a chance to interact with the park host or other employees. But they were very friendly and helpful when I called asking for information. Overall I am very impressed, I don't think I can express that any more clearly. We will definitely be back and are already looking at our calendar! We need to get our canoe out here!

That is all I know about the actual lake. This review is for the trails and bridges that I was there to photo. Comanche Bluff Trail is a hike and bike trail with 2 trailheads. The East trailhead is located in Taylor Park and costs 4.00 to access. Here you will find a well maintained trail and the Hoxie and Friendship Bridges and another wood bridge. The West trailhead is located off Country Rd 496 and has no fee and limited parking. This part of the trail is not well defined and we got lost and never found the primitive camping area. At this point it was starting to get hot and I was running out of water and would have been panicking if I had not had my faithful Canine with me. I gave her the "Lets Go Home" command and she found the trail back to our car Thank God! There is also horseback trail Willis Creek Park Equestrian Trail 4.00 to access and you provide proof of Coggins to gate attendant also 4.00 fee to access. And onto the main reason we were here - Bridges. I have a weird obsession with old bridges and Friendship Bridge did not let me down! FB was originally built at the turn of the century over Willis Creek. It was destroyed in a 1921 flood and reconstructed. In 1982 it was dismantled and moved to its current location in Taylor Park. FB is a Pratt Through-Truss Bridge a type of bridge patented in 1844 by father and son Caleb and Thomas Pratt. FB is one of only a few of these historic registered bridges and worth the trip.
