    My father helped to build Chapman dam in 1949 after he graduated from high school. Very beautiful area.

      That’s cool! It is still a neat feature of the park. We really loved this park. Next year we are going to Tuttle Point!

    Great video, I enjoyed watching it. That looks like a great place to camp. Have a great week, and weekend when you get to it. Looking forward to your next adventure.

      It was really great and from us, only a 2.5 drive. Not much more for you.

    Very nice. I camped at Chapman for the first time in June. It was really nice. We had some good hikes, paddleboard on the lake and up the creek, and I also brought my gravel bike and rode out of the park and through the neighboring state gamelands. It was a beautiful area. I had decent Verizon service most of the time. I forget what site I was on. It was during that crazy heat wave and the only way to cool off was to “fall” off the paddleboard and float in the lake. Kinda bummed that the shower temperature isn’t adjustable (no cold shower on a hot day), but the bathrooms were clean. Enjoyed the stay and your video is a nice overview of the park. Glad you enjoyed your visit.

      We know exactly which weekend you are referring to. We were at another campground that weekend and it was brutal! The creek area for kayaks/paddle boarding was amazing. So tranquil! Thanks for sharing your experience as well. It helps other viewers to hear it from their peers. ❤️ Kevin and Amy

    The hooks are for hanging a lantern. Another great video, keep it up!

      Lanterns, garbage out of reach for raccoons, and my solution was to hang my Mother’s Day hanging basket from it. Thanks for commenting! Kevin says hi!

    Looks like a really nice park. I love that you guys tried hiking. Although, next time, not in flip flops... Lol! I've never kayaked before; it looks like so much fun and peaceful. Great video! 😊😊

      He hates shoes! If you saw him climbing the boulder, he also had flops on. He’s part monkey! 😂

      Haha! Is that the name of the road? It wasn't all bad - the rhododendron bushes were largest we've seen and all in bloom! We went back on route 6. Thanks for watching!

      @@CampingCompanions Yep, good ole Mohawk...in the winter it's a bear! Good choice going on 6...there is a lot of mountain laurel on the hill...it's the Pa state flower and it resembles rhododendrons. 🙂
