Great place to go for a hike, a few steep inclines but not too bad. Also a good place to go get your feet wet in the creek!

-When Pavilions, BBQ Grills Added this will be a Five star review.-Appears to be developed as a Southern COMO ”Cosmo” park. Favourably Impressive.-New park-Basic Amenities-Great Views Sunrise & Sunset- Two man-made ponds (not for boating)-Soccer fields galore (I counted 9-10 netted Goals, literally lost count)This park is across from A.Perry Philips park on Bristol Lake Parkway. That park better suited for fishing.Park needs more maturity to make five-star; currently only porta-potties open. Loos unlabeled & Traffic prohibition sign just removed.-Very good-designed park. Could use a boardskating area too....

The view of the Lake is relaxing...and there are some fish if fishing is your interest. The walking trail is cool as well.

Beautiful trails and a scenic view from the cliffs, Gans Creek is the go to wilderness spot for hiking & bird watching plus its just minutes from Columbia. Best place near town to view a sunset. Wild flowers are abundant here during the spring.

Great hiking but a bit advanced. If your new to hiking start elsewhere are just do some exploring before doing the loop. Beautiful, but the blaze, trail markers, are a bit confusing.
