Excellent photos, Matt. Looks like you had some lovely weather for kayaking.

We were camping in a special area in a state park, on a peninsula in a lake. The land is a mix of Oak savannah and hickory/oak forest. The campsite is walk in or paddle in. There is no hunting in the forest but there were duck hunters in the lake. Turkeys were hanging out in the campsite when we showed up. They took off and flew across the lake. I also saw bald eagles, squirrels, seagulls, and a lot of beaver sign.

Yeah, the dam was built in the late 1970s.

No, I grew up in a different part of the state. I did notice a couple of old roads that went directly down to the water that match up with roads on the other side of the lake. We saw plenty of evidence indicating cattle pastures were once in the area. Some of the oak savannah is remanant of original grasslands.
