  The park is small...but well worth the visit. The hike is lovely along the lake edge with incredible views. If you love nature, wildflowers, birdwatching you will enjoy this nature park.  more »

  It's a decent park given the fact that it's free. There are some great sites for photography and the breeze feels great here during the evenings. There are some decent spots for fishing, just try not to get your lines stuck in the foliage. Nice place to wind down and relax. The trails are not too well defined and some of them are obstructed by fallen trees. I would also stay away from the free sunscreen they provide. The sign for parking could also be bigger. It is a bit hard to see from the road. There is also a no parking sign next to the parking area which makes it a bit confusing. There are also no restrooms.

  Park should be a treasure, yet looks like a dump.
