My favorite trail at Governor Dodge is the Lost Canyon Trail that starts with the decent to the gorgeous Stephen's Falls. My favorite time of year to go is around Mid-May when the leaves are G R E E N and the bugs are minimal.

Roy's Acres

3 sites · RVs, Tents24 acres · Randalia, Fayette

Our farm is about 360 acres and has been in the family for almost 80 years. Until about 20 years ago this part of the farm was just a grove of trees and the borrow pit where they took dirt to build up the highway. Over the years we have cleared the ground and added 2 buildings. The shop building includes a restroom and a porch. The porch is where my wife and I love to spend an evening. It’s a great spot to relax and watch the deer and other wildlife. We created this space for family fun and camping. Now, we have decided to share our space with others and will be developing more camping spots as we go. We will have a few spots with electricity but some will be primitive spots so you can unplug and get away. The Volga River runs through the farm and most of the time can be paddled with a canoe or kayak. You can paddle all the way to Fayette or the Volga River State Recreation Area. We have a small pond on site where you can fish, but no swimming. There’s also fishing at the state park.
