  • We loved this park. My son had a great time on the river. People were really friendly. I sat with some local ladies whom kid's were playing and diving in a cove my son played with them, they were nice informative and friendly. Worthwhile! Great for a day out exploring nature!
  • Very pretty walk right by the welcome center. We hit the welcome center first to get our bearings and check out the location of the two EV chargers. The park itself is bordered by running water and has plenty of places for kids and family to fly fish, enter the water, and enjoy the outdoors. A very pretty, short walk that gets you to a craft fair type area on your walk to the souvenir shops.
