    Inaccurate map - do not follow the address on this page! It is the shoulder of a major Highway,…read moredangerous, & nowhere to park. Instead, find a designated trailhead into the Forest. You can try parking at the Eastern Lake trailhead (it has its own Yelp page), located at 1137 S County Hwy 395.

    I really enjoyed exploring the trails at Point Washington State Forrest. In total, I believe there…read moreare eight miles of trail. I ran about five miles of them from 283 to 83, then on west of 83. The trails are mostly single track sand trails with some roots, but few other obstacles. I ran, but most people could easily hike these trails without difficulty. The vegetation is low, which makes it easy to see. I really enjoyed this. In addition to the single track trails, there are also service roads that you could explore if you wanted more distance. The biggest issue that there were some segments that were completely flooded and required mid-calf wading to cross. One section is just west of 83, and the other was about 2 miles west of 283 or 1 mile East of 83. My shoes were totally soaked, but it was still fun. Just be prepared if there has been a lot of rain. The forest was pretty quiet. I only saw two other people, and a random pair of black New Balance shoes just off the side of the trail. I would love to know their story! This is a great place to explore! Highly recommend!

    It's my favorite dune lake to paddle…read more The water is usually glassy smooth. I paddle the remote channel among the reeds that leads to the bigger part of the lake. It's picturesque. It's peaceful. I paddle the channel that leads to the Gulf with amazing reflections on the water. I paddle the cove around the private docks. I see crab pots and an occasional gator observing me - an intruder. The first time I paddled here I pulled my board up on the sand and walked over to the Gulf, but when I came back, my board was gone. The water rose very quickly and my board was pulled out into the channel. So I swam out and got it and learned a lesson about how quickly the water level can change. It's all of this, the diversity of looks and the complexity of it, that make it my favorite place to paddle.

    BEAUTIFUL state park. I spent a week in Blue Mountain Beach and my favorite part was definitely…read morevisiting this park. The trails are not crowded and super pretty views. My family and I spent a couple hours at the beach. It is a great place to paddleboard or swim. There is a man-made reef about one or two football fields out. You can get to it by going to the yellow poles on the beach and swimming directly out. If the poles appear to be one you are going the right way, if you can see both poles then you are off course. There was a group of kayakers out there doing a tour when I was there so I swam out and joined them. It was fun but I don't recommend anyone who didn't competitively swim to do that. The waves can be big and a paddleboard or kayak would have been safer. Once you get out to the reef there is so much wildlife. Lots of fish and even sea turtles!!
