I grew up coming here as a child with my mom and dad. Now I have been sharing the experience with my kids for 18 years!!! We always have fun climbing the rocks, fishing, walking our pups, or playing by the water fall. It’s definitely my dogs favorite place to go and enjoy a peaceful walk. It’s absolutely beautiful and make you forget the craziness of the world.

This is a great park to explore all the trails and relax by the sparkling water. I found the trails a bit tricky as there are many and couldn’t differentiate between the main trail and some of the off trails- ended up turning around half way. Still enjoyed throughly! Bring lunch or a good book and a comfy chair and stay all day! Cheers

Excellent park! Have never visited until yesterday despite living in the area for a long while. Massive pond along the trail that offers some nice views and picnic tables. Lots of dogs here. Some of the trail has a lot of tree roots going through so just be mindful. Muddy and standing water in some parts but nothing treacherous. Ample parking.

Nice landscape and hiking trails, though I wish more sections were paved
