Beautiful place! We should have visited years ago! Amenities include paved trails and multiple bridges over the small streams, a fishing pond, and scattered picnic tables. The only downside is no restroom. Wonderful place to explore!

Great place to walk your dog. The streams are full & running. They have grills & tables for a nice picnic. Enjoy the afternoon watching the fish in their pond. Quiet & relaxing!

It is pretty small. Trails equal 1.5 miles. There are a number of cement picnic tables situated around the park and one good sized shelter. You cannot drive up to the park building and so the parking is limited to 3 or 4 cars. I didnt see and restrooms available or running water

This is a beautiful place take a walk where to take the kids to learn about nature. The spring is absolutely gorgeous and so clear you can see the fish. My dog loves this walk as much as me and my five-year-old do

Spider webs. Everywhere.Other than that, the trail was clean and clear, signs posted for private property were legible, and a cool looking, but run down picnic area near by the old conservation building. Not sure if its still operational, but it was closed.If there was a way to control the gnat/mosquito population, Id go more often!

Great roadside park with a few miles of paved trails that get maintenance every now and then. Nice little building to sit at and enjoy the peace.

Very enjoyable walking areas. Definitely bring along some bug sprays though, as the area is wooded and has water.Parking isnt the biggest, its right past the stone wall when you turn in.

Very paved trail. It’s really pretty here. I’m always looking for more of a raw nature spot. This isnt that but it’s a nice little walk through the woods.

This is quiet the neat place. Has some paved and some unpaved trails as well. However please please please be mindful of your footing as we believe we came face to face with a copper head. If you dont believe me see the photos and decide for yourself.

Nice place but very hard to find. Gate was closed, which was misleading. Everyone walks around the gate. They have let the pond go badly. Still might be a nice place for a Scout campout.
