We had a small celebration of life here and it was lovely, easy access to the water and a nice large flat picnic area right where you park and a small playground. It was a beautiful day.

Know before you come..... Bathrooms are closed seasonally. Some of the roads and parking lots are closed with concrete k rails. There are several dog waste bag stations and tons of trash cans, please use them!! Clean and well maintained park.

Holy moly!!! Huge park! With river access. This has to be one of the coolest ones we’ve been to. On the university campus, maps took us past the road. It is at a parking lot turn before the strip of grass and tree area on the left. Pay parking weekdays, 1$ per hour.
