  I went to hike, but had a hard time locating the trails. Many of the trailheads are unmarked and most of the trails just sort of disappear at some point into the woods. I did find a sign that listed the trails at one point, but the map attached wasn't very accurate. Apparently I wasn't crazy most of the trails had parts washed out during the flooding this year and do just sort of end with you standing in the middle of the woods looking at the river.
  
  If you are just going for the scenery, it's beautiful. There were some nice picnic shelters and some open areas to relax in. The parts of the trails that existed had lots of benches and picnic tables along them also. The campgrounds (which we accidentally stumbled into when a trail abruptly ended) seemed well maintained. Fishing seems to be one of the primary reasons to go (as well as hunting which I found out when I was already very deep in the woods).

  Very nice campground. Well maintained and wonderful staff. The river is a short hike away. Nice fishing spots near by. Bring hand sanitizer or camp soap for the restrooms, there is no sink. We didn't have cell phone service down in the campground area. There is a gas station with a beer cave about 6 miles back towards 20. Have fun!!
