Chewacla is a great state park for hiking and outdoor bbq parties. It is close to town, and easy to access. The daily rate is reasonable too. We had a bbq there in the spring with no problems at all. There was plenty for the kids to do -- the waterfalls are very cool to visit. The facilities were clean and accessible. Get there early if you want to use the covered bbq areas, and be aware that the park closes fairly early.
