We love coming here and hiking around. The trails are well marked, but be sure to have a map just in case. The main trail at one point passes a lean-to and crosses a stream. In the stream there are some cool rocks and if you are interested in rocks or fossils, take a look. Some people leave interesting ones on the picnic table near the lean-to. Be sure to watch your step, as the stream is hoke to little critters that can be hard to see, and we don't want to be disrupting them too much. Past that point in the trail you will eventually go through a couple forest shifts from mostly pine trees, to lush warm green trees. If you keep your voice down you can hear an occasional raven or see some deer or other animals on the trail.

Great place for winter fun. Cross country skiing, horse drawn sleigh rides, sledding hill, snowshoe trails, rental shop, and a beautiful pavilion. Bring a lunch and enjoy the day.

Went for a sleigh ride in February. It was cold but beautiful. I’ve also been cross country skiing here in the past, they do ski rentals. It’s also a great place for mountain biking. The forest here is man made which is interesting and the lodge has lots of historic pictures of the park.

I have to give a five star rating because it is such a gorgeous place, with a nice facility, horse riding, carriage rides, and the best trails for cross country skiing in the area. However, be warned that they are VERY strict about times, …

I see the park closes at 4:30. Does this mean if I go hiking there I have to be out by 4:30 ? Or do they just not let anymore people in after 4:30?
