Very pretty place. We’ve gone here quite a few times at various times of the year. It’s always quiet and pleasant place.

Very beautiful natural place. Quiet and restful getaway from the crowds and frenetic traffic. Nice grounds and facility. Disappointed that the restrooms were locked. Seemed as though the WCs should have been open as we were there during the open hours posted online. Also access to the fishing dock was not apparent nor was parking availability. Parking area not clearly marked.
