my mom brother and I stumbled upon this park and it is really nice it has nice walking trails and benches and fireplaces/grills. honestly there's some nice history in this place. I've only been there once so I can't really give a lot of information.

I have the good fortune to live surrounded by this wonderful park. I have hiked every single trail. I have biked the park. I have to get out fishing more often. The guests at my inn absolutely love the park and stay with us time and time again to explore the park. Hiking, biking, fishing... well maintained. Love it here.
