IMPORTANT SEASONAL NOTE:
The water and electricity is
turned off in our county parks from September 30 until
May 1st. The parks are open for hiking and fishing,
etc. But the campgrounds and cabins are not open
during the winter. The cabins at Dog Creek have
limited usage during the month of October and are
officially closed October 31. (Hunter sometimes use the
cabins but the only restroom facilities are a pit toilet
and no water is available). Please contact the
individual cities for their policies on their city parks.
