This comprehensive guide to all 75 state parks and state recreation areas will help you find that great picnic spot or the perfect campsite - everything you need to know is at your fingertips.
While not a book for reading, the book provides some great information regarding each of our 68 established State parks. Our state parks are as varied as the people who visit them. I was glad to read a brief history of each park. Some of our state parks were gifts preserve their history. Others were a gift to prevent the loss of the solitude or uniqueness of the area. With so many parks, there is a park within a destination. In my travels, I will try to check out more parks and spend a little time in them. This book will provide a valuable reference for each one. A feature that I really liked was the map that is included for each park - large and small.
