This was a very nice spot for a pleasant hike. We spent 2 hours on the trails. It has some easy and tougher hikes, so something for everyone. The parking lot was fine, small but enough for several cars. The trails were fun, lots of rock hopping, many fallen trees that you have to jump over lol. Please note, I found a tick crawling on me hours later, so yeah be careful, use bug spray here! That was the only bummer, everything else was pretty good. read more

Wonder Lake State Park offers some good hiking with well-marked trails. Parking: small gravel parking lot Trails: Several well-marked trails. Lots of elevation on the trails. So plan accordingly. On the trail map, it appears to be an easy 1.5 miles to the.lake (following the teal trail). But there's a ton of elevation and in the spring lots of mud. The yellow trail was basically so muddy at one point we gave up and double-backed to the teal trail. The mud made sections impassible. Misc: Lots of insects, especially annoying gnats in the spring. Recommend using bug repellant. Also, recommend taking water. Why 3 stars? Lots of road noise from I-84 across much of the park. Doesn't feel like nature with the highway noise in the background. The lake itself is not exactly pretty. Just a mucky lake. The trails were very muddy. And the scenery was overall average, just not exceptional in any way. But it's free and provides a nice place to hike. read more
