Was surprised that they were actually open. This is a older Park but was somewhat maintained. It does not represent itself clearly. They also have overnight camping. If you are looking for a place to camp it is very hard to find this place as camping is available. Even though covid- 9 has affected a lot of areas. The park has complied with all the suggested rules keep the park safe. I would visit this park again. I think my visit would have been more enjoyable if we not have this virus. My service dog what is more than welcome.

The walking trails are very nice. Mostly tree covered and by the lakes. I went in the fall, so it was pleasantly quiet and relaxing. I only walked the trails so cannot comment on the camping. It is great that it is dog friendly (on leash required).

Rented the Pavilion #2 for my daughters baby shower.With power, fan and screened, outside faucet, huge grill outside, near by bathrooms, parking close by, shade from trees, putt-putt golf right beside us and a Beautiful view of the lake. It was perfect, guests were amazed!

Very Nice peaceful lake! Make sure you are watching your children or persons who may not know how to swim as there is no lifeguard on duty! Paddle boats are $3 per person for 30 minutes.

I had enjoyed my first time at this beach. Bathroom was clean, and so was the park. There was not many people when I went, which I was happy about because of the COVID-19 situation. Admission is only 5.00 per vehicle. Highly recommended if you are wanting to just go and relax in peace. Water was cooler the further I went out.

What a beautiful, tranquil and lovely place. Ny girlfriend and I decided to make a day of it and hit the beach, hike the trail and enjoyed a wonderful picnic. It was extremely affordable at just $5 for entry. Plenty of bathrooms, covered and uncovered picnic areas and a nice little campground.I cannot recommend this place enough if you need an affordable outing for you and the family. Looking forward to going back

The rules state you cannot hold a campsite for someone who will arrive later. Its a 1st come 1st serve campground. Any unoccupied site is available. I arrived at an unoccupied site and the guy across from me runs over and says his family is coming later to stay at that site I just arrived at. I called a ranger because I know the rules. Ranger shows the high lighted area that says no holding a site for anyone not here. Well a different ranger comes over and states i have to leave after the first ranger says the site was mine and high lighted the rule that states that you cannot hold a site unless you are here in person to occupied the site. I will never camp here again.

I love John Tanner Park but the county has taken it over in recent years and charge much more for parking than usual. And your state park pass doesnt work there anymore. Otherwise theres a great biking and walking trail around the lake a good little beach to swim in the hot summer and a great little campground. Its a peaceful shadey park to spend an afternoon or a few days.

I really like this park. The cost is 5 dollars for car to get in. ( It is a county Park) there are lots of picnic tables and places to BBQ. 2 lakes in the park for fishing. The upper lake has a beach area and swimming. The park outs out paddle boats in the summer months that you can rent.This is also a campground. Lots of sites and awesome camp hosts. 18 hole putt putt golf. Paved walking trail. The lost goes on. A really nice place to spend a day and get out of the house.

Went to hayday. It was amazing. Worth the five dollars to park. Lots of walking so be prepared! We have a 1 and 2 year old and they loved it! I dont mind saying me and my husband liked it and I will even shout that my 17 year old liked it! Mom win!! You can tell they worked so hard into it! Everything was detailed and was put together so well. Will definitely be going again next year!

Love going here whether with the kids or just with the hubby and some friends. Putt putt golf, paddle boats, and the beach. Love coming in the evenings during the summer letting the kids swim throwing some dogs on the grill and making it a nice weekday funday. With a park pass doesn’t cost anything to come as much as you want and let the kids play. Just wish there was more In The was of a snack bar.
