It was lovely. The paved path through the woods was very nice. Well-maintained. Will be back.

What a great park. We took our sweet dog there and we enjoyed walking to the creek. It had been raining so it was muddy but the park is beautiful. We’ll be back to have a picnic now that the weather is cooling off.

Very nice park with walking path, small lake to fish with the kiddo's and playground as well as restrooms. Lots of shade all over. Great park.

Questions & Answers

Why do they close so early during the summer? The sun don’t set til around 8:45 PM, but they close at 7:30 PM. That’s way too early.

The park does not have a person full time on site, so the park ranger has to close multiple locations.

Is it dog friendly?

The walking trails definitely are. There is no specific dog park area though

In short, there are small bluegill, sunfish... (brim). Some Bass, but fed well and hard to catch, and some catfish. My kid has also caught the local Herron.
