Standing Rocks County Park & Winter Recreation Area — Attraction in Town of Stockton

The section I go to is the dog exercise area. It is so nice, never muddy. It has a gate in the back that you can go about 40 more acres. It has to be almost 80 acres. Most dogs that come there are well mannered. You need a leash to walk them to the park, but it's aboutv$40/ year! They have a ski lodge, mountain bike trails. They also have two lakes, Adam's and Bear lake. I always take my Bully down there to wade into water. The dog park is HUGE! Very clean, so please help keep it that way. They have a water hand pump about 1/4 way around. A couple gazebos, doo-doo bags and garbage cans. Make sure your dog is social, and even if it isn't right away, there are a section or two for training. It's 5 or 10 bucks a day, orv$40/year. It starts over on January 1st, so if you buy your pass in December, you'll have to buy another in...

It's a nice diverse park. I will address only the mountain biking. It's kept up well and has a great looking building at the trailhead. Never open, but still nice. Overall good but some nagging issues that are frustrating. First of all the trail sign at the beginning rotates to display winter skiing trails and then mountain bike trails. Well, it's still on the skiing trails and it's August! The trails are marked hit and miss. Some intersections are clear and some you get to are not clear at all, too many options. The trails themselves are fine, not great, just ok. At the southern beginning you have to go through the easy trail to get to the medium or hard trails. A little inconvenient but the first trail is ok. I will go back just because there are not many nice alternatives...

This is a well maintained small Nordic trail system groomed very well for both skate and classic cross country
