It's a great park for hiking in the forest. Easy to moderate trails. Lots of dogs off leash and lots of poop bags scattered along the trails. Users should be more environmentally conscious.

Forest trails by the river Hills picnic tables and beautiful surroundings. Dogs can walk freely. There's a drinking fountain at the bottom of the hill mostly for dogs. Park has a couple of different entrances via a foot or a car.

Most dogs that live nearby love this place, as does ours. It’s a great park, not technically a dog park but the park rangers are pretty lenient about not having dogs leashed if no one is being bothered. One of Northwest’s better secret getaways with a nice loop for quick walk.

At first, I thought this was a dog park because of the amount of dogs running loose off leash. I’m fine with that, but there are some irresponsible owners. One woman, let her dog charge me growling before she stepped on it’s long leash. She caught her dog just in time and just looked at me and said oh you must be a dog person. I gave a polite smile and kept on my way. It’s a great park and I honestly don’t mind the people who don’t find it amusing to let their animals run up, growling at strangers who are using the trails. It’s a federal park with clear leash laws signs that are not enforced. If you are not a dog person or have a small child who is afraid of dogs I’d skip. No one else was as obnoxious as that lady, but be aware that their dogs are all over the place off leash. Be very careful when pulling out of the parking lot. People are engaged in conversation and don’t call their dogs when cars are moving.

Nice little getaway. Reminder to dog owners, keep those pups on leashes!
