Noce walk through the former orchard and along the creek. Excellent place to go birding. Not all dog owners are cleaning up or following leash laws.

Beautiful walking trails. Very peaceful place to enjoy nature. The creek water is cold, perfect for a swim during the summer. I believe the website says no dogs, but I saw plenty of people with their dogs on the trails. Overall I would recommend this place over and over 10/10

Nice trail to walk- lots of grass if you want to lay out on a blanket and relax. Saw a few deer. Creek was nice, a few dogs were taking a dip

Great park! It's small but wonderful for small walks. We spotted 2 deers and a river while walking on a bird trial. You might need to deviate a little bit from the main road to explore raw walking paths with beautiful nature views. It's really worth visiting at least once!

Great trails and the cemetery is beautiful too.
