Nice little park. Enjoyed some afternoon hours strolling and sitting watching the water and the water birds. Park is well maintained. Family friendly with a number of other families there. Looks like other good recreation opportunities which we did not do. This unit in the larger county park is relatively small so longer walks require multiple loops or walking between units.

Nice place for family to be together outdoors playing on the playgrounds, the volleyball courts, fishing, walking, or picnicking.

Always clean. Easy access to the water on a hot day. Volleyball nets, grills and picnic tables make for a great waterside family outing!

Nice park, ducks and geese, paths to walk. Gets busy, if you are looking for less traffic this is not the place. But nice none-the-less.

Beautiful spot on the lake with a large swimming area, playground, and room to play yard games/volleyball. Some rules should be posted about proper etiquette as there were grown adults throwing sand and causing problems.

Its nice and clean with lots of parking. It has sand that leads into the water, which is nice on the feet. It can get a bit crowded though. They do have kayak rentals also.

This family friendly park is great for a picnic gathering, walking the dog, or taking the kids to play. There is a short paved trail that provides lovely views of the lake and spots to picnic. In the summer there is a roped off swimming area in the lake, and the playground is open year round. There are also sand volleyball sites During the holidays dont forget to see the lights. The on-site store offers hot chocolate for purchase during the holiday lights event.

Nice park to swim with the family, sandy beach area, kids said there were more rocks in the beach area than to the right of the roped off area, lots of goose poop, wear shoes to avoid stepping on little spikey things in the grass

This is a great spot on North Shore, I only wish it werent so crowded on weekends. People were packed in as if no virus ever existed.Kayaks, SUPs, Canoes and Mountain Bikes are available from River Sports Outfitters. Theres a playground, two sand volleyball courts, a greenway, a few picnic tables and live music at night on weekends.

Parking could be better, as it was soooo crowded- even with the whole Corona thing. They have porta-pottys, no actual bathrooms. The water was nice but also felt somewhat dangerous, as there were people on all kinds of water craft who felt they could just cruise up to the bank where people swim.

Very pleasant walk around the park on a beautiful morning. My wife and I were on a short trip to enjoy a few places we had learned about. This morning we drove through and walked through a few parks in the area. Duck feeders in the park and no lack of ducks to feed. We had a good time enjoying the walk and water.

A good place to spend a dinner day. The park includes a kayak launch platform, grills, pavilions, playground, sand volleyball courts, swimming access to the lake. Parking is free but can fill up quickly on a beautiful summer afternoon. There is also a business that rents kayaks on site but I am unaware of what the fee is.

The park is nice. There are some rocks in the non roped off area that you need to be careful of of you are swimming. The water feels great but is murky as its natural river water. Great sand volleyball courts.

Pretty nice place to kayak, there is small trail there that is nice to stroll down. And plenty of places to sit down and just enjoy the water.

Ja
Review №94

Great place for an afternoon stroll, a morning walk or just to pass the time. The park is very kid friendly as well as dog friendly. There are picnic tables and grills as well as a swimming area. Its a good place to launch a kayak too. There is a walking path as well as connections to bike paths and fishing areas. The park has made a miraculous recovery from its near destruction from a violent derecho wind a couple of years ago. The road and park can be, at times, kind of busy, but I have never not been able to find a place to park. Its one of my favorite places. Also, if you have never been there for their holiday lights, you should most definitely put it at the top of your things to do.
