Here you can enjoy swimming from the beach, canoeing and kayaking, fishing, and many other activities. The park is open year-round, and in the winter, you can enjoy snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. It has dozens of miles of multi-use trails where you can hike or go mountain biking; it's best to stay on the trails to protect the plants and vegetation. Park your RV rental nearby, and you can enjoy a hot meal and comfortable chair once your outdoor excursions are concluded; it'll be the best of both worlds.

Dolliver Memorial State Park is just a short drive north of the campsites at Oak Park Campground. This scenic state park was originally brought to fame by the discovery of a tablet with Latin inscriptions claiming to have been left in 1701, but the tablet was discovered to be fake; the area's natural beauty led to its being purchased by the state in spite of this. The park is an ideal destination if you're hoping to go hiking, boating, or fishing. One of the park's main attractions is the Copperas Beds, a towering sandstone bluff, and there are Indian mounds that were left behind by the area's earlier inhabitants. Hiking through the park will take you through Boneyard Hollow, a narrow ravine that was named by early settlers who found large amounts of buffalo bones there. Don't forget to bring your camera to record this fantastic scenery.
