Beautiful nature domain with a lot of recreational opportunity. Easy to hike in, so perfect for children. There’s a lot of parking opportunity and trash cans.Currently (late August) you are not allowed to swim in the lake due to the COVID-19 crisis and it is unsure when this will be allowed again.

I came here in early spring and it was a great place for an easy hike / walk in the woods. The trails were well kept, unfortunately there was a decent amount of litter which is a shame when people do that, but still a very beautiful and peaceful area. I did find myself stopping every once in a while to see exactly where the trail was, this was just because there wasnt much on the forest floors in some spots but still an easy trail to follow. Highly recommend this park.

Nice, big pond with picnic area and swimming area and car top boat launch. Large parking area with handicapped parking and access although the terrain is a little rough. No life guard so swim at your own risk. The pond is stocked with trout and has sunfish, perch, pickerel and largemouth bass .
