Lake Somerville State Park

We spent 2 nights at Lake Somerville. Activities included fishing, hiking, volleyball and enjoying smores around the campfire. We stayed at the Birch creek unit lot 40. We saw a dozen deer(the boys chased one) and had raccoons visit us on the first night. Even though our trash was hanging, they were able to tear the bottom corner of the bag and create a huge mess. The weather was 65 degrees during the day and around 38 degrees at night. Josh and I slept in the tent while Jill & Jake were in the camper. The last night as we put a couple of logs on the fire, a scorpion came out from the center of the log. This is the same log Jill was sitting on for about 15 minutes prior to us putting in the fire. This park is a definitely one to revisit as the sites are exclusive and the lake is great.
