Crowder State Park

Crowder State Park offers plenty of hiking trails through the woods, crossing over creek beds and listening to wildlife.  At the time we went (early July) the creeks and streams were practically dry, so the kids really enjoyed playing in the rocks and finding frogs.  
The terrain was a bit strenuous for a two-year-old in a few spots, but wasn't really a problem.

                                                               

Fishing in the 20-acre Crowder Lake was a highlight of the trip.  The lake is full of channel catfish, largemouth bass, crappie and blue gill.  Several picnic areas, a shelter, playground, and a tennis court are located around Crowder Lake.
Our youngest had fun trying to catch bullfrogs in the reeds and muck at the shore.  


            


              
Oue campsite was good sized and level and featured a trail right behind it leading through the woods.  The kids found some berries back in the woods (we made sure they were safe to eat).  They were able to play at a small playground which was only a couple hundred feet away, giving us some time to relax as well.
