Cedars’of Lebanon State Park

Great place to go swimming…
On Friday Fourth of July. Tony, Noël and I packed a picnic lunch in the cooler and headed out for some fun. We went to Cedar of Lebanon State Park (free to enjoy) and entered to the swimming pool area.
A great price of only $ 4 per person. $ 2 if you are a camper. The pool area is nice and large with plenty of room to move around and layout. There is NO concession area here but you can bring in your own cooler. Food has to be eaten in a certain area where there is picnic tables available. But you can bring in drinks (plastic bottle only) and drink by your area, some people were snacking on chips and fruit. so I guess that is okay. no one stopped them.
You can smoke but outside of the gated pool area only. You get a hand stamp to get in and out. Also you can leave and come back the same day with the hand stamp which is good. so if you want to go eat and come back to swim some more. The hours are Wednesday thru Sunday 10:30 to 7pm. Closed on Monday and Tuesday.
What I really liked about the pool area is that it is NOT that crowded. The swimming pool itself is really large and there is a diving board. I really liked this pool area.
You can bring floats and water toys and bring your own lounge chairs which is really nice. Every hour they have a pool check with a 15 minute break which is good too… keeps every safe and kids under control. The staff was nice and lifeguards young but doing their jobs also a plus. I will definitely go here again.
After we left the pool area we went to the picnic area down the park road a bit and had a cook out. Where we enjoyed a nice semi shaded area and we grilled out hotdogs and hamburgers enjoying some homemade potato salad and baked beans. A great day. A great holiday and if you are on a BUDGET like I am ALWAYS… only $ 12 for the fun for a family of 3… Awesome day!!!
