Reviews
This is a great park. We are lucky to have it here in Whitney Point. We have spent many summers here and I run the paved loop when I can. The geese make themselves an issue at all times, but they tend to stick to a single area of the park. We have come here to kayak and always had a good time. My only complaint is the swimming area. It’s rather small and quite shallow.
2 mile out and back paved walking trail around a dam and reservoir. Quiet and accessible, a few other walkers and dogs.
Great place to walk, run and bike.
I like the open sky here, you can walk along the raised path and get a great view of the area. You can park at Keibel Rd. and walk to Dorchester Park, which has swimming, fishing and boating in the summer, and ice fishing in the winter. Or you can park at Dorchester. Round trip is maybe 3 miles. There are also boat launches further down Keibel Rd, and at the far end of the lake, at Upper Lisle (if they finished repairing the bridge).
Beware though, if there has been any of snow, snowmobiles also use this path, which seems crazy to me.
West side of lake has abundant fishing sites for shore fishing. Unimproved boat launch for hand launching small boats. Access road is accessible by car, but slow going. Excellent hiking trail along shoreline. No restrooms or other services. Road is subject to flooding during high water events. Enter via Kibel road off route 11 north in Whitney Point.
