[ Down-tempo music plays ] Kohlsdorf: Surrounded by farmland, this unassuming state park in Franklin County offers an outdoor oasis for visitors to camp, fish, and hike.

Beeds Lake State Park actually is kind of a little hidden gem.

It's a little bit farther out, in more of an agricultural area.

If you want to just stop in and have a picnic or go for a walk around the lake on our trails, it's usually not very busy.

Kohlsdorf: The park was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and opened in 1938.

The hand-built limestone dam is an often-photographed centerpiece of the park.

A trail leads hikers from the spillway to the base of the dam, where visitors can get an up-close look at the structure.

Doescher: We've got a 90-plus-acre lake that has really pretty good fishing.

People can almost always come and catch a crappie or bluegill or bass or catfish.

It's just a really nice, quiet little park to just decompress, especially after a long drive.
