I’m not a huge fan of snakes and such BUT... when my kids make me go to these places it’s not that bad. It’s really cool to see all of the different species. This place was fun for all ages.

Excellent spot to enjoy a wide variety of libations. Great selection of tasty cigars and the young lady behind the bar is quite attentive and knowledgeable about what’s what. Well done.

You’ll have fun in clear, clean lake water free of chlorine, in a park with a low carbon footprint and minimal environmental impact on the lake, making your day of adventure an eco-friendly one. We always have certified lifeguards on duty and everyone in the park wears a life jacket, so you can relax knowing safety is always a top priority here. Come by and get a day pass, and enjoy discounted rates for military, law enforcement, and first responders all year round.

Visited during our annual family gathering and it was well worth the 1.5 hr drive. Logan was amazing as he helped and encouraged our kids and parents (13-65) to ensure everyone had a blast. A cooler with drinks and snacks along with camp chairs and shade tent made it easy to spend the day there. Those too old/young to participate have water access via a man-made beach area to play/cool off. It’s already an affordable day however his military discount made us deeply appreciate his way of giving back to veterans. Thanks Logan!!! This was the highlight of our week!

My wife and I made our first visit to Scream Hollow on Friday, 10/11/19, and we couldn't have had a better time. First, yes, it is quite a drive into the country, down a dirt road, way out in the woods. That gets bonus points from me. The setup is excellent; there is plenty of good food, beverages, bands, restrooms, and even an amazing little quirky gift shop. There are four haunted houses, and three of them I really enjoyed (the only one that didn't really do much for me was "Wicked Darkness", which pretty much a completely blacked out haunted house experience ... I give them creativity and variety points at least). But the other three haunts are quite elaborate and delivered a few genuine scares for me, which is hard to do. But mostly I enjoyed appreciating the artistry and production design of the haunts, which is top notch considering they don't have a massive budget like the mega-haunted houses you find in San Antonio or Austin. And finally, by far the best thing about Scream Hollow is the people. The lady at the front taking tickets was SO excited that it was our first visit. The lady working the gift shop was genuinely excited for us as well, and insisted we come back and tell her about our experience (and was not at all trying to push merchandise sales on us, she was just having fun and making sure we had a good time as well). The performers are absolutely amazing; there are lots of costumed characters that wander, and the characters inside the haunts were just fantastic. A bit of a spoiler: the zombie (think Walking Dead) guy at the gas station was terrifying, and was just as good or better than any of the performers you see on TV (he could lumber at a near jogging speed but look completely "real" and not alive, just wonderful and horrifying to look at!). In summary, this is a great change of pace compared to what you may be used to; give it a try, highly recommended!

Maybe it was the misty, cold weather. Maybe it was the moss on the stones. Maybe it was the fact that we chose to hike the CCC Crossover Trail first. Either way, it all came together into one perfect moment that made us absolutely fall in love with this park. We started our morning on the CCC Crossover Trail and immediately felt like we were back in Ireland, scrambling over castle ruins. It was cold and grey that morning and the greens of the moss and trees were so vibrant. We were hooked. We met up with a small group of friends an hour or so later and hiked the rest of the park. The trails are really great, nothing too difficult at all. Part of the Pine Gulch Trail has been affected by previous fires so the scenery changes greatly there. However, it is wonderful to see the new pines growing in those areas! There is another section of that trail that is still old forest and it's wonderful to know the rest of the park will look like that again someday. The Winding Woodland Trail is lovely and a very easy stroll. Keep in mind that most areas of the trails are narrow and work best in single file if you're going with a group. We really loved it here and will definitely go back. The birds here were also AMAZING. The forest was filled with their songs.
