We have been here a few times, our last trip we went for a long walk along the path, we stopped to admire the creek and play with the rocks and watch a local frog.


We saw a bridges over the creek, open areas, as well as a couple of playgrounds. The woods where beautiful, so we plan to go back in the fall, to admire the fall leaves.

The walking trails could easily handle a wagon or stroller.
