Bare Cove is a recreation lake with campsites. However, we are not your typical camp ground. We have no quiet hours, we do get loud and have a great time on the weekends. It’s not uncommon for beer pong or card games to go into the early hours. We are open to all ages and backgrounds, anybody that enjoys making friends and having fun on the lake. All guests must sign personal injury waivers to cover our 6.
So about the property, it’s 120+ acres with a 5 acre man made lake that features blue waters, a beach area and tikibar. We have atv trails, private camp sites and group sites. Enjoy the day floating in the clear blue water, fishing (separate pond) or hiking. Our lake also features a launch pillow for blasting your friends up to 20 ft in the air! We do have large float's for rent, which are great for groups. Thanks for looking, would love to host you and your party out at the lake.

Watch that heart rate drop as you relax to the fullest at Lake Alma State Park. A tranquil 60-acre lake and quiet gurgling creek winding its way through the landscape means inner peace here is almost imminent. One of three fairly short trails provide the setting for a chilled-out walk, where ancient woodlands make a home for birds like the great-horned owl and woodpecker. Launch your canoe, kayak, or rowboat on the northeast edge of the lake for a nice float, or take your furry friend for a dip in the specially designated dog swimming area. Two public beaches and volleyball courts mean you'll have to bring your favorite bathing suit. With all the calm vibes emanating from Lake Alma, don't resist the relaxation, just bask in its glory.

Forked Run State park features hickory and maple trees lining lake shores, making this a classic Appalachian beauty. Walk along one of the hiking trails where you can keep an eye out for white-tailed deer and gray foxes tucked away behind the blue phox and bloodroot wildflowers. Catfish, bluegill, largemouth bass, and crappie are plentiful for the taking if you plan on bringing your fishing pole, and a ten horsepower limit on boating guarantees to keep the waters calm. If you're interested in catching some deer or turkey for a pre-emptive Thanksgiving feast, be sure to bring your hunting license with you. A small sandy beach and athletic courts provide that perfect balance of recreation and relaxation.
