Great park to get away from it all, you definitely feel like you're in the wild without traffic noise. I was able to here lots birds including an owl. The trails are mostly shaded, some are deep shade and definitely lots of mosquitoes. On trail is a paved multi use trail. There's remote primitive camping, an RV camping area with a sanitary dump station, cabins, and a tent area that is close to parking. There's several picnic tables and shelters with grills and public restrooms. There was also a portable restroom along the blue trail near the primitive camping and lookout tower. Two playgrounds, one large and one small. The boardwalks on the green trail are closed but you can walk along side of them with no problem. I will have to come back because I left a lot more to explore

Pretty awesome park. Just don't make the same mistake I did and think the only way here is down a long dirt road. You can get here with a paved road.... darn gps app routing.

Is there a boardwalk? If so, how long?

Millie Ramos | Aug 19, 2020
Richard Ledbetter | Aug 19, 2020

The last time I was there, it was closed. There is a part of one of the trails that is very much like a boardwalk, though. It is a few feet off the ground (it is grassland that gets swampy) and around the height of the grass. For distance, 100 yards maybe. Caution was (probably still is) due to rotten boards.

Is the fishing good

Elmer Ferguson | Aug 20, 2018
Steve Robbins | Aug 20, 2018

The water is very clear. If you're used to fishing in tannic acid water you'll have to be much stealthier and use smaller more natural looking lures
