Nickel Valley Resorts

Restaurant

👍 Nice country bar. Friendly bar tender and owner. Has an outdoor pavilion and smoking is permitted as well outside.

Forked Run State Park Beach Swimming

Swimming lake

😠 The beach itself was very clean, full but not crowded. It’s sandy bottom the entire way out and drops gradually. I’d give the beach itself 5 stars! The one star is so others will see this warning. I was there along with my friend, both young females. After the families left and we were at the beach...
