During the summer season there are nightly ranger-led evening programs in the campground amphitheater or historic log cabin: hear tales of local folk lore, learn more about the lakeshore's environment, view nature in beautiful awe-inspired slide shows. Evening programs are a great way to start the family's evening campground activities or to end a long, too-much fun, tuckered-out day. Check with the campground staff for times and subject. The ranger station is staffed during the summer months from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. daily. Throughout the season, campground host are on site and available 24/7.
