Lots of trails as expressed by others. Many are short and relatively flat. The "red" trail has a good elevation challenge. Definitely want to return. Lots of people with children or dogs or both! Loved learning about the Lime kilns and the history!

At first glance park seems poor quality woods with lots of invasive plants. However, deeper into the north of the park the woods turn into forest. Gorgeous! At the heart of the park is a great nature center, historic sites, and lots of fun little unexpected secrets that we found delightful.

Beautiful views. Amazing wildlife. Kiln trail is super cool and it’s a great place to take your dogs.

I love hiking here! Since I'm new to hiking, it's been a bit confusing on the trails. I was a bit ambitious and wanted to get to a trail that was pretty far out. I got there, but it took so long that I had to speed walk to make it back to my car before the park closed. The trails at this park are very wall maintained. There are plenty of people out there so that you won't be alone for long periods of time. Hiking here helps clear my mind, and seeing the Eagles by the dam is amazing!

A magical place! The trails are well labeled and maintained. The stream is clean. There is a nature center with friendly, knowledgeable volunteers. Chickens and turkeys outside the nature center, as well as picnic tables and a little free library. There’s also an outdoor play area for kids to use their imagination. The kids area could be improved upon with expanding and refilling the sandbox, as it’s a huge hit for the kids but tends to be overcrowded and down to the dirt. There are meadows and frog ponds and easy flat trails along the stream, as well as more challenging trails that connect with loch Raven trails.
