Only had a couple hours to spend here but it was enough to put on our to do again list. Well kept park with groomed trails and cement trails too in some areas for easier access. Lots of camping, picnic and bbq areas. Too many...More

We visited this park through the Harrison Ave entrance and hiked a trail. Even though it is so close to the city, you can find peace and quiet here. Other people passed us but we were strolling down the path enjoying the quiet. I will...More

I camped here in August and the campground is fairly well-kept in a nice wooded area. However, I was very unimpressed with the campground bathroom/shower facilities. The fixtures were, IMO, a hodge-podge of odd, stained, and cheap designs, with mildew, dampness, and bugs throughout. Urinals...More
