THE INTERPRETIVE CENTER IS THE ACTUAL ENTRANCE. Amazing experience. Tons of deer a fox, dragonflies,rare spiders, peacocks, herons, and a turtle. Very nice walk should take around 5 hours with some devouring and sightseeing to see the whole park. Rangers were super nice, had water centers and clean bathrooms, also said there are groundhogs and muskrats in winter

I love how peaceful and quiet it was . Yes, it was March and an unseasonably warm day. I have hiked or walked in places where I didn't feel safe as i was alone and there were wild animals. Concerned about bears, bison, wolf,etc, or other wild animals you find in the mountains; I felt safe walking here alone . Homes not far by, and I was confident I wouldn't run into a bear or bison or any other wild animal . I will visit again and do a longer walk to explore this beautiful place nestled in with homes

Solid movie spot! Regal Bricktown Charleston has nice reclining seats that are super comfy for long films, good picture/sound quality, and clean theaters. Concessions are standard but fresh, staff friendly and quick. Easy parking and location. Minor thing: can get crowded on weekends with long lines, but overall a great theater experience. 4.5 stars — perfect for catching the latest blockbusters!

Great trails. What a way to escape the hustle and bustle and just take in nature for a few hours. On this trip we saw deer, countless birds, a snake and a red fox but he was to quick to get a photo of. I suggest going on a dry day and not after a rain storm so you can really enjoy.

In my view best time to visit is winter and early spring due to swampy terrain in some places (bugs would be an issue). Great variety of trails and visitor center open all winter. Clay pit pond trail CPP is my favorite one (lots of pines).
