Geode State Park

When you arrive at Geode State Park you will feel like you just cracked open a boring looking rock to find a glittering jewel in the center of it. Jackpot! This beautiful spot of lush vegetation with the sparkling gem of Lake Geode at its center has outdoor recreation for everyone, including swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, and even winter sports for all season fun. Follow these activities by a mandatory picnic by the water and a few evenings of campsite shenanigans with the fam and you’ve got yourself an unforgettable outdoor trip for the books. In case you are wondering, yes there are actually geodes here which is how the park got its name, although most have likely been removed ages ago. It is now illegal to remove any geodes from the park, so you will just have to check out some prime examples at the park office. No biggie, more time for playing on the water!
