Not a trail to mess around on as there are several steep drop offs and the fall would seriously injure or worse. Very rocky, uneven terrain and some minor climbing required. Backbone Trail is the "Devil's Backbone" one and a MUST SEE. Does run into the Backbone trail though so I'm sure it starts to get more of an incline to the north. Pretty much straight on the south part, not very many inclines on the stretch we went on. On the other side are very cool rock outcrops. East Lake Trail runs right up against the lake and you can see it well. It had a ton of birds and lots of trees and plants. We entered by the spillway/boat ramp.You can see the lake but it's through thick trees. West Lake Trail was woodsy and very hilly. He did well even on the Backbone Trail just be sure to bring water for everyone and poop bags to clean up. We took our dog on all of the trails we went on. There is one that has all of the trails labelled. Let's keep them nice! - Park: Print a map at home. They don't have housekeeping like a hotel and it's nice that the DNR provides these cabins. Make sure to clean, sweep and mop on your way out. Trash and can/bottle receptacle is nearby. There isn't really a view of the lake, but it's close. Some local stores also have wood and they're listed in the binder in the cabin. Do not transport firewood in from another county. Firewood can be found at the camp ground near the cabins by the "host site" trailer for $6/a bundle. I would bring some tin foil to put over the grill grate. Outside there is a picnic table and a fire ring with a grill that goes over top of it. If your dog sheds a lot, bring a sheet to put on the futon. We never left him alone but if you do you must crate or gate them up in a kennel like enclosure. Ours did fine and loved the park and the cabin. Bring a radio for background noise if you want it as there isn't one inside. The area stays quiet for the most part though the other cabins are close by. If the weather is questionable, we brought some crosswords to do together and books to read. The bathroom with shower and toilet is attached to bedroom with a wood sliding door. The bedroom had a small queen size bed (bring your own blankets, sheets, and pillows) and a sink. Bring hand soap, spray cleaner, SPONGES, and dish soap. I would bring an extra frying pan, spatula and paper plates and plastic utensils/cups, paper towels, garbage bags, plastic grocery sacks. Floor is concrete throughout and easy to clean when leaving (mop/broom provided). There was a table with chairs, a futon and end table. Living room/kitchen area was spacious and updated with fridge, granite counter top, sink, stove/oven, coffee maker and microwave. I'll do this in two parts: Cabin and Park. We rented a $50 cabin and we had our 1 year old dachshund with us as well. We took a two day trip to Backbone State Park and rented a cabin.
