One of my favorite parks to attend with my family for nature walks or a game of disc golf . We can't wait for the leaves to change so we can jog the trails !

Beautiful park. They do an incredible job of keeping it clean, clearing trails, signage, events, trails, shelters, playgrounds- it’s all beautiful and well maintained. They also put on ROMP (a bluegrass music festival) every year here and they work so hard to ensure...Read More

Good playgrounds! Clean, they keep them well maintained and welcoming! They are pretty close to bathrooms as well, which is niceThe bathrooms are typical park bathrooms. They keep them as clean as they can- but people will be people.Very dog friendly! Park and trails!Great shelters- one of which I know has a large built in charcoal grill in the middle- always clean, well kept. Picnic tables around the grounds as well

Great place for a music festival, plenty of parking and camping spaces and lots of space to set up a chair. No alcohol sales was a bummer I'm sure there are some regional breweries that would have found some new customers. @BillyStrings should play here...Read More

My family and I enjoyed this visit. Playground is nice, a little trash but we discarded it in a nearby can. Spray park is nice, although slick so I highly recommend wearing water shoes.
