Great place to get out and walk in nature.

Great place to bring the family for a few hours or for a full day. Miles of beginner trails that connect to the Swamp Rabbit Trail and a deck that overlooks Lake Conestee. Visitors can participate in a community garden for a small fee. Adjacent to Conestee Park, which has baseball fields, a playground, and a dog park.

Why do people ride their bikes on the boardwalks and across the bridge ? There were a lot of people crossing the bridge with small children.. Seems like a place waiting for an accident to happen.

Mike Barton | Sep 24, 2018
John Boi | Sep 24, 2018

Because people don't like to get off the I bikes and walk because they are bike riders. If the park ranger catches them they may catch a fine. Until then I'd just watch my kids on the board walk
