Whispering Pines is a special section of Hartman Creek State Park that can be reached by car or canoe/kayak.
Paddlers can launch canoes or kayaks from the boat landing off Knight Lane on Manomin Lake and paddle through the east end of Hartman Creek State Park and the Pope Lake Natural Area to Marl Lake, where they can take time to ponder the depths of the lake's crystal clear waters. From the floating dock at Marl Lake, a stone staircase leads to the Whispering Pines Picnic area where paddlers can break for lunch. The picnic area has tables, grills, bathrooms, drinking water, and a vehicle access and parking lot off of Whispering Pines Road.
There is swimming in very deep water and fun fishing for kids from the dock.
This area was donated by a private citizen in 1975.
Please provide a picture of your group and/or a description of your visit.
This is a fee area so a State Park sticker is needed.
