Our story

Fifty summers, passed between families.

The Ledges have been a gathering place since long before there was a park here. In the late 1950s, an operating rock quarry struck a spring — and within days, 30 acres of stone had filled with cold, clear, spring-fed water.

The property became a private campground in 1972, and since 1995 has been owned and run by Evan Kelley, a former lifeguard who grew up here. Same small staff, same primitive-camping feel, same water.
