DeGray Lake

Art and I had a wonderful time on our week-end away and plan on taking the kids there very soon. It was an absolutely beautiful lake and a wonderful kid friendly place for a vacation. There are two places to stay. DeGray Lake Resort is a lodge on the lake and has a hot tub, swimming pool, restaurant and playground. On the other side of the lake (where we stayed) is the State Park and campground. The sites were very large, each one had a picnic table, grill, fire pit and included water and electric for only 18.50 a night. There was a boat launch, swimming area, playground, and bath houses. There were also many activities going on in the park. Every morning they have a water activity(snorkeling, paddling, etc), game(basketbal, frisbee, etc.), educational program, (snakes, wildlife, etc) night hikes, and sunset cruise. The activities were free or low cost (we paid $8.50 a ticket for the cruise.) The park also has a golf course, tennis courts, basketball courts, horseback riding, bicycle rental, boat rental, hiking trails, and of course many places to go fishing.
