Hueston Woods State Park, located in College Corner, has nearly 3,000 acres of outdoor recreation. The park surrounds 625-acre Acton Lake, with campsites, cabins and a resort lodge.

HISTORIC PHOTOS: Looking back at Hueston Woods park and lodge through the years

Early in the summer of 1956, the 1,200-foot earth fill dam across Four Mile Creek was completed, and the following year Acton Lake was impounded.

Hueston Woods Lodge opened July 8, 1967.  The lodge came under new management in 2012 and has had some renovations.
