Took some elementary kids there for a class trip. My first time there and was surprised and pleased this is so close. I will definitely check it out for fishing and camping.

Awesome place for weekend or week long camps or family outings! Our organization, OCCP, has been putting on a weekend camp at Forest Lake for over 10 years! The current caretakers of the camp are so great and easy to work with!

Was out there for a church activity. Camp facility was much improved. Know the Camp director personally. Haven't talked to him in a while. Came close to contacting him about an upcoming conference.
