Really nice park, not too busy. Lovely trails and nice big lake for fishing
Pretty place, fishing isn’t as good as it was 2-3 years ago but still will get bites but not the best place for bass if that’s what you’re looking for
A small park that’s great for fishing, mycology and peaceful walks, of course. Quiet and usually not busy, although it is near the Ohio Turnpike. There aren’t many trails or much distance/variety to them unless you observe the biological specimens all around you.
This playground doesn’t appear to be super popular so it’s nice of you want somewhere a little less chaotic to take your kid. The playground has swings, slides, and lots of climbing elements. There is a covered pavilion and a port-o-potty. Lots of parking right by the playground and pavilion. There are trails that lead off to a lake area where you can fish. Very close to 113.
Very nice park. Well kept secret. Pavilion, playground, and nice walking trails around lake and into woods. Fishing permitted with license. Lots of bass. Would have given 5 stars but trails need expanded, which I know is planned.
