According to Wikipedia, Wind Creek State Park is a public recreation area located 7 miles  south of Alexander City, Alabama on the western side of Lake Martin, a 41,000-acre (17,000 ha) reservoir on the Tallapoosa River. It occupies 1,445 acres.

The park offers boating, fishing, swimming, picnicking, hiking and equestrian trails, a large camping area, and rental cabins. A grain silo built in 1915 that sits on the edge of the lake is topped by a viewing platform and has a nature center in its base.

The park has equestrian trails totaling over 20 miles and two hiking trails that total more than 5 miles ) in length. The park has nearly 600 camping sites in one of the largest state-owned campgrounds in the United States.

We actually did a last minute overnight there for a couple of reasons - 1] we were in the area to pick up a couple of bikes we'd just bought and 2] there was weather moving across the state that we didn't want to drive in.

It was a rainy night while we were there and we ate leftovers in our little home away from home before heading north the next day.

And yes, we're discussing what to do about the driveway...
