Simple, but a nice place for a quick walk... trails are short, so dont expect to get over a miles worth

Right next to the Frito-Lay Plant and near a plastic production factory. Place reeked of a unique mix of chicken nuggets, pretzels, and rubber. No lie, look it up on Google Maps if you dont believe me. Other than that its a nice green space away from al the troubles in the world.

Mmm I sure do love the smell of potato chips and plastic! Frito lay and another company is next door so it may smell. Other than that its good.

The Ivy Creek Park is a place that I take the dog to the dog park. Its very nicely kept up and the people I meet there are very nice people.

Clean, nice secluded park with playground, trails, pier to fish off and during normal environmental conditions (ie. NOT COVID closures or winter time) canoe rentals etc. Fish were biting today. Catch and release. Kiddos loved it!

Very nice park. Clean considering the current world situations. Geese are a bit territorial. However, very nice. And there are a ton of Pokemon...lol

Drove here only to see No Trespassing Private Property signs at the entrance. I remember coming here a few years back and we were able to kayak / swim / walk around the lake

One of my favorite parks. Scenic trails. Wildlife and a nice covered picnic table area.

A definite win for a place where kids can catch bluegills all day long with little effort. For the more skilled anglers their is trout, bass, and catfish too (but those take a little more skill than our fishermen had today)

A small park. Has a fishing pond, Two port a potty, A small shelter and grill, and pretty much everything youd expect from a park but on a smaller scale.Playground is aimed at younger children. No swings, but there is a climbing rock.A lot of bird houses around and ample opprotunity for bird watching.

It was an easy .5 mile walk around the pond. Little muddy after yesterdays rain. Good smell from Frito lays plant which made me hungry. Plus park had restrooms. Need to bring fishing poles and license.

My kids and I really liked this little park. The foliage is pretty.

The pond they call Clemons Lake is stocked but very small. Its a pretty and small place but you are not allowed to clear a spot on the bank to be able to fish other than their deck and canoe rentals. They have a nice canoe teaching program but the pond is small and its hard to fish with them in front of you. They have a spot for kids but like one toy if you will for them to play on. They need more. Nice place but a mini place. The people there are are excellent and informative.

This is a nice sprawling park with a good size pond you can walk around, well kept dock and shoreline with opportunities for canoeing and kayaking which I believe they rent out on the weekends. Lots of places to sit and take in the scenery and a small playground for kids who are interested. I have been here a few times mostly for the fish, which have been challenging to catch at times but overall a good spot to let the kids and dog burn off some energy or just relax.

I took my 4 year old daughter here for an outing and really enjoyed it. A friendly staff member set us up with life jackets and a canoe rental, just $8 for an hour. The lake is small enough to easily paddle around, but still fun enough to spend about an hour.

Rude ppl. Every time I go there with my son to eat at the pic nic tables, someone always has to come down there. Theyre not even eating! Water fountain doesnt work. The best part of the park is the geese.

Great place to walk. The building is never open. Plenty of spots to eat lunch and the deck is nice.

This place is great for fishing, hiking, picnics, and watching wildlife. We saw turtles swimming, frogs all over, butterflies, and lots of fish! Just be sure to wear bug repellent, as we saw some lone star ticks!

Nice park and pond, but a bit underwhelming. There is a small play ground, but nothing big; Fun for children either way, though. The boat rentals surprise me a bit just because of the size of said pond. Fun to fish there, but never caught anything; only smart fish there, so dont plan your destination weekend fishing expedition at Ivy Creek Park. There are a few trails, but they are a bit secluded so using the trails alone could possibly be an unwise idea. There are pavilions with picnic tables. Overall a good place.

I enjoyed the walking trail with my family. The playground was a bit small, however the kids enjoyed what was there. I would definitely visit again as the trail is a peaceful place for a great workout.

Not much of a park. Fishing is poor. The VDGIF releases trout in the pond the urban trout program. They could definitely find a better place than Ivy Creek Park pond.

Review №49

This park has great fishing and nature trails. Employees of local businesses often come here for a walk at lunch time. There are canoe and kayak rentals on the weekends. Because of heavy pressure, the fish are very shy and difficult to catch, but can be above average in size. The pond is very crowded immediately after winter trout stockings take place. There is a large hill with a paved path to get to the nature trails and pond from the parking lot. The trails are not paved and get muddy after a rain.

Review №51

A nice park, but not for young children. I have a 9 year old and 18 month old. The 9 year old had a blast, but the 18 month old got bored. I love the trails and you can fish as well in the pond. Great for families with older kids!

Review №52

A beautiful, peaceful space to walk and relax. No weirdos there!

Review №53

This is nothing more than a glorified fishing hole. Not sure why they have kayak rentals. It hardly seems worth it to skim across the murky, stagnant looking water. And in the middle of a Saturday afternoon, the rental office was closed anyway...though it said you could rent them. The water fountain didnt work either. If you dont have a backyard then I guess this is the place for you. But Im not going to be back.

Nice place to walk and relax in Lynchburg. The fishing was a bust. Not sure if it is stocked, but we came up empty handed.

No stars. The lady cursed at my son. All he was trying to do was help. She did apologize but she was very rude to the kids.

Great place for walking and if you like to fish also great for that although I think its a catch and release pond, not being a fisher not positive on that.
