“This is a great little hidden gem. There is a lot of secluded walking and it's a pretty area. There's a large picnic area with several shelters and seasonal bathrooms. There is a new camping area with lots of spaces. There are also several new, very nice playgrounds, including a huge inclusive playground, custom designed with a covered bridge and replica Clark Tower. This park is worth the visit for anyone with kids in the area.”

“The tower was so worth going out to see. We decided to walk, only mile. However, they neglected to mention inclines and declines. Carvings and maze were neat also. A nice maintained park perfect for exploring or family get togethers.”
