Raccoon Lake is a great camping, boating, and fishing spot, particularly in the summertime. Visitors enjoy over 8 miles of hiking trails with views of rocky cliffs, the lake, second-growth forests, and prairie restorations. The park also has an Interpretive Naturalist program with regular programs every weekend beginning Memorial Day weekend and running through Labor Day weekend.
