Came here to get some fresh air on our drive, there was live music and dancing in the park, we got to enjoy a view, and ended up getting fresh spring water from a natural spring!

Am excellent road trip stop with lots of space to walk, we didn't see any full restrooms but there were some porta potties available.

Great park and landscaping but lots of weed smoking hippies! The water is the cleanest and coldest in California. The water come out of a hole in the ground. Snow melt from Mt. Shasta seeped though cracks in the mountains and filter though the rock. When it comes out at the park you can fill up your water bottle and drink it. Go early otherwise you will encounter lots of dirty drifters bathing in the water and smoking.
