The rugged beauty of
Volga
River
provides a picturesque setting for camping. There are 49 non-modern
campsites at the "
Albany
" campground area (once the site of the town of
Albany
). A portion of the camping area is available for equestrian campers. This
is a nonmodern campground. Water is available, but there are no showers or
flush toilets. Starting February 13, 2006 advance campsite reservations
can be booked through the park
reservation system. Half of the campsites are still available for
self-registration on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Plans call for a modern campground to be built in the northern portion
of the park east of the lake. This campground will accommodate RV's and
provide showers.
The Volga River Recreation Area has become a very popular center for a
number of trail activities. Hiking, cross-country skiing, mountain biking,
and equestrian trails wind through the area. Tails include Frog Hollow
Trail, Lake View Trail, Ridge Trail, Albany Trail and the Lima Trail. The
Lima Trail takes visitors past 20 foot high limestone bluffs and a 15 acre
white pine plantation. The total trail system is 25 miles in length.
