    Thank you for visiting. Most of the sedimentation in the creek and lake are from our upstream neighbors, construction sites and a golf course. Our trails are built using best management and design practices.

    Wonderful park for strolling

    This place is great - and has been for decades - as a place to get away from studying inside a building and getting outdoors for fresh air and sunshine! Great place for a day out walking and hiking. Good for walking dogs.

    This is a fantastic park to visit for the day or to camp for the weekend. Lots of things to see and do...especially for the 🚴! Cabins are neat and the primitive grounds are fun too.
