Really pretty and nice park with pavilions and a great view. Free day use. Great access to the North Shore trail. The trail is is great for a quiet hike with dogs. Not too difficult but just challenging enough to keep it interesting.

Murrell Park has many tucked away surprises. Trails to explore. Wildlife to watch. The area is beautiful. During the week it is deserted. Take in the fresh air and beauty.
