59. Scampsite #53. We got a beautiful site, and since it was so close to our last park (Fairfield Lake), we were able to have a late lunch before walking around on the island! Seven years ago, when we stayed here while courthousing, we brought a 2-person kayak, along with all our camping gear (we didn't have the Scamp then) and we kayaked out to the island and camped on a beachy cove. This year, the lake level was high enough that we couldn't find our cove! We hiked several trails and saw 4 different woodpeckers! Martin Creek Lake is another power plant lake, but not as big as Fairfield, so no big boats allowed.
