While the lack of restrooms is a drawback, the serene environment and accessible nature are highly appreciated for short, refreshing visits.
"Nice easy trails to navigate. If u follow down through the trail there is even a spot you can see the water. Very peaceful. I saw benches on the trails if you need to stop and take a break. Dog friendly. I see many people walk their dogs here. No bathroom. They do have bags for picking up after your dogs. A small parking lot as well. I have never had a problem finding parking here."
Holly Young
"I go on walks here from time to time and use this area as an escape when I can't get up north to see my family. it is a great space to clear your head and get away from society if you need the escape. would recommend this space for anyone new to the area looking for a spot to hangout or walk"
Cameron J Dow
