Back in 1953 when the park first opened, Lake St. Catherine’s grounds only had a modest swimming area and picnic benches. It later served as a children’s summer camp before becoming a farm for a period of time. Today, Lake St. Catherine State Park includes 117 acres and attracts visitors to its historical slate mills and quarries. Campers can enjoy the pastoral scenes and stay over in tents or park trailers. Open fields and lake shorelines make this an ideal place for camping. Kids and adults alike can enjoy plenty of swimming or head out on the water with boats.
