Getting Outdoors
With a varied landscape including limestone bluffs, cliff caves, forested woodlands and small waterfalls scattered through the park, you will see that Ferne Clyffe is an outdoor recreational haven, ideal for a state park RV camping trip. If you enjoy fishing, head to the Ferne Clyffe Lake, a 16-acre lake that has a depth of about twenty-two feet. Though swimming and boating are not allowed, anglers will have an enjoyable fishing experience at the lake that is populated with largemouth bass, channel catfish, bluegill and redear. Should you just want to take in the beautiful lake views, head to the Lakeview Picnic Shelter or get on to the Blackjack Oak Trail. The park is home to twenty wildlife-hunting areas and plenty of game hunting opportunities. Deer, squirrel, wild turkey, quail and rabbit are popular game species available in the park. Be sure to check-in at the hunter check station before you begin hunting.
