"This was a nice park away from the city to visit near Kissimmee, Florida. The park had plenty of parking, with picnic pavilions, grills, and public restrooms. There was also a fishing pier, with primitive group campsites near the back of the park. The park and trails were very well maintained with plenty of birds, rabbits, and other wildlife to see."

"This place has such amazing scenic trails and equestrian trails to check out. It's County maintained and they do an amazing job. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city. You don't even hear the vehicles. If you want an escape to nature without driving too far, this is the place to go. They seem to be building some new pavilions or bathroom structures the day I visited so looking forward to the new work. They've got a really cool kayak. Launching ramp as well as a fishing pier to take the kids on."
