Hiking Trail Reviews Thompson County Park Trails - 4.4 Miles Trailhead was very easy to find and accessible. The parking lot was large and spacious and there are many other points you can park and access this trail. Trail is paved and very easy. This is more of a park walk than a hike but it was lovely. Great views and very safe. Would highly suggest stopping by if you are in the area.

Gorgeous park & lot of trails. We had read the tips from other reviews about the reservoir trail before embarking on it, but we still managed to miss a turn & ended up on a different trail. I agree that the trail markings can definitely use some reworking. But overall, its a beautiful park & we enjoyed it a lot.

Absolutely love it here. The mornings are beautiful. You can't ask for better scenery. My son loves the park playground and our dog loves all the smells.

One of my favorite places to hike with my dog. Great variety of trails. Really wonderful and surprising amount of wildlife as well from bald eagles to foxes and numerous hawks. They have cross country skiing in the winter and canoeing in the warmer months.
