Pomona State Park, previously named Vassar, has had state park status since 1963 and currently offers camping, hiking, fishing, and water activities.

490 acres of park and 4,000 acres of lake mean that this area has plenty of wildlife to surround yourself with.

Water skiing, fishing catfish or bass, and canoeing are great ways to really enjoy the water. Other than good ol’ swimming, I mean. There’s definitely plenty of hours to spend here on the water.

There are a few shorter trails to enjoy here, which are suited for both walking and mountain biking. You can camp near the trail, and one of them is also ADA accessible.

If camping is tough on your bones like it is mine, or if you just prefer a sleeping spot that doesn’t blow away, they have cabins available to rent out for your visit here.
