This is our favorite place to camp! The staff is very nice and helpful and it's quiet and peaceful there too. The lake is great for kayaking and taking our small boat out fishing... we totally recommend muddy run!!

A beautiful park. My family and I took a walk on the Lakeshore trail, which took about 2.5 hours. The scenery was beautiful and we counted about 15 deer. The walk around the lake was not difficult at all, but the trail is primitive. We encountered a number of other hikers and also saw many people enjoying the lake in kayaks and small fishing boats.

Splash pad was great for kids, and there are multiple playgrounds for kids that have been upgraded since I was a kid. Many pavilions. Hiking trails. Can feed ducks at pond. Can rent boats, kayaks, etc. We love it!

Muddy Run Park is a great spot for a family outing. They have everything from non-motor boat rentals to a disc golf course and more than enough for a fun day out in between. I couldn't recommend this park more!
