“What a great place to stop at while camping at Scenic State Park! The staff is incredibly friendly and happy! The kids and my wife love to come for ice cream and to connect with local social life while camping at the edge of the wilderness at Scenic. Bait is excellent, supplies and groceries are great, clean and orderly! A fun place to connect and visit while up north! We came by 2-3 times for ice cream and supplies!”

“Great for fishing and typical gas station but also has some great gifts and household items. We did not stay at the lodge, only went to the store”
