This little park is a great hidden gem.. It has a pond for fishing, and goose watching. There's a ton of tadpoles just waiting to be frogs also in the pond. The trail are well marked and have some muddy spots after rainfall. Ticks and mosquitoes are present so don't forget your bug spray. If you are observant you will find the remains and ruins of an old gunpowder factory in the thick of the underbrush. Enjoy!

Some parts of the Blue and Red trails submerged with water.

1st time. Very clean. The section along the tracks no big deal. Trails well marked.

Not particularly. A few small pan fish and bass, nothing spectacular.

Are there any bears?
