A view of Lake Elysian from the bike path, no straight shot to get over to the lake from the path, but fun to see anyway. I love paddling this lake.

Rest Stop - looks like it used to have a tent area, which is now covered in fallen branches. Now just a picnic table and firepit.

Bike Camp

Highlight • Rest Area

These sites bikers can use if they goto the office to register first. It's usually pretty buggy back in there, but a nice rest point if the bugs aren't too bad. Also a log shelter if it's raining.

Nice little parking lot in Waterville, right on the edge of the State Park.
