Nice short little hike and accessible for everyone. Lots of trout in the pond you can fish in but make sure you catch and release.

Great for a short hike if you only have a little bit of time. Loop takes about 15 minutes, 30 minutes if you stop and look around a bit. Fun to watch the trout on a sunny day

Small parking for such beautiful place. It is winter and parking was half way full. I assume during summer it will be close to impossible to get parking. Paved trail goes to the dam. And path around the way. Gorgeous lake, saw otter swimming. Kids were fishing . Nice place for family fun.

Easy to find State Park, so pay your annual fee! Lots of parking. Restrooms are near the entrance, as is a picnic area with tables. There's a slight uphill walk on an asphalt path to the stone and concrete remnants of the Spring House. Once there, the sound of rushing water is calming. There are benches along the path near the Mill Pond which is stocked with rainbow trout for catch and release. The water leaving the pond gushes towards the cement and stone remains of the mill. Time and vandals have taken their toll on the area. Signs are damaged and wooden overlooks are in need of repair. But, it is a quiet place of beauty and reflection. The area had plenty of visitors while we were there.

Is this more of a baby carrier trail or would a stroller be okay?

Amanda Nelson | Aug 2, 2020
Matt Haeni | Aug 3, 2020

You can do stroller. But you can't get into the round old ruins with it. There is also a small trail on back side that's tight. So just depend on what you prefer. I would bring baby carrier and use that. You won't be there long and it will allow you access to all.

Curious on rules/ regulations for a wedding ceremony to be held there? No decor or outside items brought it, and about 30 people

No, the water coming out of the spring stays a consistent temperature, about 55 degrees.
