Having been at High Knob in 1955 as a child with my grandfather and parents, the area has an attraction for me. Everything is different as there have been 2 replacement fire towers/observation lookouts since then but the long range views are still awesome...the wildflowers and bee activity on the approach were spectacular! The lake area has a high mountain feel due to the elevation. The facilitie... Having been at High Knob in 1955 as a child with my grandfather and parents, the area has an attraction for me. Everything is different as there have been 2 replacement fire towers/observation lookouts since then but the long range views are still awesome...the wildflowers and bee activity on the approach were spectacular! The lake area has a high mountain feel due to the elevation. The facilities are not kept in good condition and there was nearly no one there! The solitude is still very inviting and I find the top of this masif has such mystery and allure. You can almost see Chief Benge making his way across the knob on his way to terrorize early settlers. The stonework done by the CCC in the 1930s is just beautiful. Pity that the facilities are not kept pristine.

We are loving this hidden gem of a disc golf course! Beautiful hiking trails between tees and holes… minus 1 star because there isn’t a mail anywhere! (We missed a few holes.)

All of the restrooms are closed, the water is off and we paid but the host still put a “please pay” notice on our windshield as I presume they didn’t check the pay box first. That said, the area is beautiful and it’s a gem for us to have, but a third of the sites are closed due to tree fall and clearing. Hopefully they can get the water back on soon.
