Review:

Chena Lake Recreation Area is known for having two distinct sections, Lake Park and River Park. Both sections of the recreation area were created in 1967 and have similar recreational activities to enjoy. Lake Park features the 260-acre Chena Lake with 45 campsites, swimming beaches, boat rentals, fishing docks, and a boat launch.

It also has picnic sites, a playground, three volleyball courts, and a horseshoe pit. Meanwhile, the smaller River Park rests along the Chena River and has much of the same features such as 35 campsites, day-use picnic areas, and sports areas as well. What differentiates it is the 4.5-kilometer nature trail that guests can enjoy whether guided or self-guided.
