Bent Mountain and Beyond
Sightseeing
This is one of the hidden gems of state parks in the entire country.
This is the first place I ever rode a horse. The sky train down to the river is amazing and the restaurant down the bottom has amazing views. The back porch of the resort has some of the best views in the state. The lake has awesome inflatables in summer for swimming, or fishing year round. There are countless hiking trails, including the ones that run along the sky train route. There is frisbee golf and two real golf courses. You can spend days in this park!

I know it's a bit strange to list a DQ, and the food here is about on par with every other DQ in the country, but the views from the dining room of the river are totally worth it.
