"I really like this place but my dog Jerry loves this place. I try to bring him everyday during the summer so he can run and play in the water. He also likes to watch the kids jump into the water from the bridges. Lots of people will bring tubes and float down the river which seems super fun. There’s also a bmx track with jumps and burms and all the cool stuff. There’s just a lot to do here so come check it out."

"Amazing short hike with the waterfall feature only ~7 min in! I took my 5 year old and 2 year old and we had so much fun. The tree branch bridge was an absolute favorite. Plus it's so peaceful and serene in this spot."
