Took my 6 and almost 4 year old, and they loved it! Great place for kids or adults that like doing things like fishing and frog hunting. So beautiful and relaxing!

Came to check the water levels after the few days of heavy rain. Impressive experience! A lot of water everywhere. Water even overflowing in many parts of the pond. The swamp to the west (behind) of the pond is overflowing and the stream water running strong. Found some fish to the edge of the pond seem to be laying eggs. Normally we dont get this much rain.

Ive always wondered how deep is Mulligans Pond? I grew up catching catfish, eel and sunfish here. The improvements are great!

Very nice, quiet place to get away from the hustle and bustle. Easy walk to and around the pond. Birds and fragrant flowers abound. Several look out spots and many benches for resting and contemplation.

Its a small loop but the bird watching is great. Parking is available and very light on the colder months. Take binoculars.

This is a lovely little wetlands park. There is a short walk to a small pond populated with turtles, geese and ducks. There is a path around the pond and there are fishing platforms at the pond. Great place to come with kids who always love seeing all the turtles, and a great birding location. At the end of the pond, across the path, there is a viewing platform out to the wetlands.

A lot smaller then I thought it would be, if your wanting a quick walk this is the place for you. If you want something with miles worth of trails I suggest going somewhere else.

Nice pond to come for a walk, run or bike ride and enjoy the outdoors. Will spot some wild animals from tine to time. Has turtles and fish and apparently fishing is allowed.

I enjoy visiting this place from time to time. The place isnt big so there isnt much to do. Youll probably enjoy a swift walk around the lake.
