We love to walk here when it is hot outside. The canopy of trees blocks the sun and keeps you cool. The stream flowing is so peaceful. I wish there would be signs letting you know how long the trails are. But overall we like taking our dog there for a walk.

Nice quiet setting. Found out from the park manager township supervisors are closing the park due to out of staters who camped here 4th of July weekend and left significant trash behind with no care for the environment or those who maintain it.
Not sure what the park hours will be. No notices other than open den to dusk. manager said park closed when gate is closed.

A quiet little park, surprisingly forested in between rolling hills. There’s much evidence of past flooding from the river that runs through it, but the river itself and azalea forest are very enjoyable. Some narrow paths and some debris, but a nice walk altogether.
