    My wife and son Kayaking  

    Came across deer while hiking!

My experience at Lake Louisa was very nice! The trails are very well marked and there was lots to see. we saw different animal prints while walking on the trail. Also came across some deer and interesting spiders. They have a trail called the fitness trail and it was quite a work out for me and my wife at the same time very funny to watch her climb across the monkey bars! Overall we had a great time. I took the wife and son over to the dixie lake where we all went kayaking, they enjoyed it and at the same time very entertaining to watch them share a kayak that we rented from the ranger station. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We also went and checked out the big lake called Lake Louisa and it was beautiful though you can not swim in it I imagine it would be a great place to have a picnic, relax maybe bring a book! The bathrooms were very clean and also had wash rooms! My over all experience at this State park was a great time!

Until next time happy traveling,

John.
