One thing that I thought would be nice would be to have a hut that
could be rented by groups. We have taken Girl Scouts to the two
cabins at Field Springs State Park, and know that there are always
needs for larger group activities, especially in the winter.

The Field Springs State Park cabins could provide a good role
model-we can fit one troop in the log cabin and it gives a great
opportunity for cross-country skiing. North South would be lovely, as
the drive is so much shorter.

Best wishes!
