  Great views and very well managed. Just be prepared for it to be breezy and perhaps chilly, since it is so high up. The area is partially under construction, with more restrooms and accessible facilities coming soon.

  Always a great place for a family walk. Lucky to be there when they had Santa event that was so well done with many great volunteers helping make it a great Christmas event. Thanks to all of the volunteers. This is a four season place that you must try all four as the view is fantastic in each of the seasons. Lots of local history is a close ride away for those of you looking for more than a walk
