Club house is in the US so you get to buy cheaper booze for the round, you don’t enter Canada to get to the club house and you walk across the street to tee off on hole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just stopped in to the park office to get my season pass and I asked if camping is busy this weekend and she replied they are full. Which has usually been my experience trying to camp there on the weekends. A person has to reserve a campsite online beforehand. Pro Tip: real fun to turn it into your own "voyageurs view tubing area". Launch your tube at the bridge near the dam and ride the river for a couple hours exiting at the last bridge in the park. The "sand bars" by the bridge near the dam also fill up pretty fast with people on the weekends. I had trouble finding an open one last year when I went. And with the popularity of "ebikes" I'm sure the trails are getting a resurgence too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely a private dirt track owned by the farm next to it. Probably for cars or dirt bikes. Did a quick calculation and it appears to be between 3/4 mile and 1 mile in length. A stranger shape is about two miles west. Looks kind of like the outline of a pair of goggles. Only thing I can think of is an old go-kart track. Looks like it was paved at some point, but it's such a small track, I can't think of what else it could be used for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone older me could probably tell you (but then again they probably wouldn't be found using the internet). That stretch use to be the entrance to the state park before it was moved. You can see the old road and bridge still there. And there was I believe a bunch of other attractions like horseback riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
