Reviews
This place is my idea of paradise. Forests are my spirit home and this one was amazing. I was visiting from the UK and really loved it. With 2 small nephews we didn't walk a full trail but I still had plenty of wilderness to enjoy and a desire to come back.
Really nice place to take a leisurely walk. Not too crowded and very easy trails and peaceful ponds and huts. Liked the fire tower as well
Hike to the tower was easy. Wide path and the grade is not difficult. We only went to the tower, but would have liked to explore more of the trails which seemed a little more narrow. View from the tower was beautiful. We got there for sunset and we were the only ones there.
This place is very beautiful. Done this little trail so many times and keep coming back. I highly recommend to anyone who likes a good walk in a preserved old-growth forest.
Nice place for a small hike and a family picnic. There is a good size parking lot. The place is dog friendly. There are three hiking trails to choose from. The place had beautiful fall colors and is scenic.
Plenty of parking . Excellent facilities . Trails are plentiful . Room for social distancing at all times . Just about everyone wearing masks and/or have them readily available . I’m not afraid of heights but the tower climb; I had to stop & pause . Climb it , it’s worth it & you’ll see what I mean . Wasps up there can be crazy just move slowly ! I only did the yellow trail but would love to come back & explore !! Yellow can be completed easily in < hr (without stopping) Camping available With reservation and/or permit ? Wouldn’t be my choice of a campsite (I enjoy more private / primitive locations) . Kid , dog , fishing pole friendly . The park is clean , please be respectful of Mother Nature . Have no fear , autumn is here !🍂🍁
What a nice little park to go for a walk and enjoy any season of this beautiful country. Easy trails and very convenient for the family
Fantastic short hike to the fire tower. The views from the top do not disappoint! Will do it again!
