The park was decently laid out. There were plenty of picnic tables and the view of the lake was pleasant. That being said... The lake was DIRTY! I would not let my kid swim in it. Our picnic also was raided by ants, but can't fault the park for that. Overall, it is a nice place for a picnic, but that's it.
If you have a group, tough to beat this place. Rent a cabin! Water, room to run/explore. Kids of all ages have a blast here.
We love this park, prices are reasonable, and for us close to home. We can come camp or visit for a day and feel like we are miles away from where we live. They keep it clean.
This place is just beautiful! There is something for everybody. There's a nice marina, a wonderful park with lots of camping and barbqueing facilities. Great beach as well.
The park was an excellent location for the family reunion.The pavilion was a nice size, we were right on the lake, near the bathrooms and playground. Parking was close by and the atmosphere and the cleanliness of the park was just perfect! We also was able to enjoy the concert that was out in the park, in a different area but still was able to hear it. Everyone in the park that day appeared to really enjoy themselves. I know we did!
Good place to go on a nice cool summer night! Food's okay, but sitting out on the water can be very relaxing while listening to the band play.
Family friendly to party cove. There's fun for everyone. Two beaches for family/ friendly fun. It's not a huge party lake like lewisville. You can either be in the cove to party if you want or enjoy family time away from it.
Grew up on a lake in northeastern Oklahoma, actually on an island in the lake , so I guess I was an islander and I have the tendency to compare and realize it isn't fair but I am predjudice and can not help it...
cedar hill state park was awesome. Hiking, biking, kayaking, camping fishing, boating, mountain bike trails... it has it all!!!
You can't beat walking or biking for free on top of the Joe Pool Lake dam. We come here time after time for the scenery and free exercise. The best time to come is late April or early May when you can see the bluebonnets blooming. But this is always a beautiful place to walk or ride a bike. You will always see boats, sailboats, and jet skiers on the lake. On the east side, there is free parking and restrooms are available. Cars can enter the parking area without paying a state park fee. On the west side, you may park for free at the Oasis restaurant/marina parking lot. Food is available on the west side, but not the east. The east side parking area closes at 10:00 P.M. See directions below. The dam is very popular and you will always see other visitors walking and biking. I've never been here at 10:00 P.M., but I've always felt very safe here in the daylight hours.To get to the dam from the east side, follow highway 1382 until you see a 60 foot (or so) radio tower on the west side of the highway. Turn in at that entrance. About a dozen cars can easily park in the parking spaces. Enjoy your relaxing visit.
