We attended this location for a work function. It was beautiful. The bathrooms were clean. The four was for the upkeep, it doesn't seem to have a tremendous amount of grounds up keep, considering they collected $10.00 per car at the gate.

Great place for biking, hiking, boating. Sitting by the lake and watching the sunrise and sunset is really a great pleasure in life.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Does the park allow amplified sound?

Isaac Green | Sep 19, 2020
Joan Clark | Sep 19, 2020

I'm not sure about hooking up speakers or sound systems but people were playing stereos pretty loudly. I would try and keep the music to your area to respect neighboring parties. Anything that needs a sound system like a DJ situation, you should probably run it by park staff before going as there may be permits needed for that.
