Happy Malone

He is one “happy” camper! Happy enjoys sleeping under the stars, watching the wildlife and most of all he enjoys roasting marshmallows around the fire. He has become really good friends with a few deer and a couple of squirrels. Have you seen any of Happy’s animal friends today?

Bobber Malone

Bobber loves to fish here at Lake Malone and he catches Bluegill, Catfish, Bass and more. He enjoys watching the boats pass and listening to the frogs croak. Have you been fishing lately?

Oakley Malone

Oakley, like many of the Oak trees that fill Lake Malone State Park, stands tall and strong (17 feet). He loves going on hikes to hear the birds sing, to see the animals play and to keep himself healthy. Oakley’s favorite time of year is the fall when the leaves turn bright colors. What’s your favorite season?

Wattson Malone

Wattson loves the light that the fireflies bring to the darkness in the woods of Lake Malone and dreaming under the moon and stars. Wattson says Lake Malone is a magical place and he enjoys sharing it with his friends. What do you dream about?

Annette Malone

There are so many amazing things to see at Lake Malone. Annette loves the beautiful butterflies and she thinks they are good luck. She read that some people believe that if you can catch a butterfly and whisper a wish to it, then let it go, your wish will come true. Have you seen the lovely butterflies?

Paige Malone

Reading is Paige’s favorite thing to do. She says it takes her to many places and teaches her so many things. Books can take you on many adventures just like all the adventures you can have at Lake Malone. What will you write in your book?
