I really appreciated this place. I was impressed by the lack of human imprint. They're are picnic places and boat docks. a graduation party was happening while we were fishing. But when you enter the woods the only reason you would know people were there were because of the trails. I did walk up on a 5 foot snake eating lunch. I SCREAMED MY HEAD OFF AND LEFT. LOL!

Nice new pavilions and picnic tables. New Park (pit) Toilets, well ventilated and clean. New playground and paved walkways throughout much of park area surrounding the multiple shelters and parking lots. Easily accessible boat launch. Rental-able pavilions for parties. Some hiking trails near Lake. Family friendly. Been here fishing without kids as well as picnic with the family.

Beautiful lake for kayaking and fishing. Lots of coves for shady and quiet fishing. Very peaceful, clean water and wild life. There were only a few pontoons, mostly kayaks and small bass boats. Definitely a must see!

Their playground is amazing for children of all ages. They have a spiderweb to climb and a Zipline with a bunch of slides. We also went kayaking with the kids after having a picnic at their brand new solar powered pavilion.

We had a fantastic day on the lake , we rented a pontoon boat it was the perfect day . The owners of the bait shop and the boat rentals were great and very accommodating. Highly recommend them for all your fishing bait and boat rentals !

Great little park with beautiful new pavilions play ground, boat launch and fishing spots. Only complaint is way too much goose poop on everything! Otherwise, a great place to spend the afternoon with the family

New Path in our community. I did not measure but I do believe the loop to be approximately 2 miles long in total. It has quite a few 10 and 12 degree slopes.

I came here for the first time I brought my kayak I spent most of the day paddling around finding little coves. It did not seem to be a very high pressured lake for fishing. It was nice that most of the boaters we're being very cautious around me and the other people there in kayaks.

Pretty views and good way to get outside. Only complaint is that the bathrooms are disgusting.

Nice lake to kayak. I saw a bald eagle up close in one of the inlets. It flew over me a few times so I think that there might be a nest nearby

Lovely picnic benches and children's playground. Spotless outhouse. Well maintained and away from any noise other than friendly fisherman banter.

We had such a great time with so many options for the whole family! Dad got to fish, mom got to hike and have an adventure with the kids and the kid's had fun at the park! This was literally a great place for the whole familyThe restrooms were well maintained during our visit. As a parent, that was important to us as well. No litter and the park itself is well maintained

The lake is big enough to kayak, tons of boats were out but it wasnt crowded! Even saw a crane and deer bathing in the water! There is no swimming but the kids have an awesome park to play on! We haven't tried the bike park or the trails yet but definitely on our list! Bring your bean bags as there are corn hole boards installed. This place has something for everyone.

It may take a bit of time to get to but it is a wonderful park for young kids and boaters. The "trails" are just mowed paths through fields which are, depending on the particular path, very easy to walk or very difficult if set on the side of a hill. They are not what you would call traditional hiking but for a calm stroll through fields they are great. The playground and game amenities are well taken care of and the bike course is extensive & creative. If you don't have a boat your exploration area is small but packed with fun stuff for 12-14 & under.

Really wonderful park, that would be very easy to miss if you didn't know where it was. It has a beautiful lake, that looks like is primarily for fishing, kayaking, and boats with small engines. The playground is amazing, and even has a working zip line for bigger kids. And a great hiking trail, that passes right along the edge of the lake.

This park is huge. The walking trail around the lake is flat and is doable for any age or athletic level. Wonderful openings for fishing around the lake. Picnic benches along the trail. We did not do the full trail. We turned around at some point. Their was an open field for the dogs to run by the water. Also the play ground is for big kids. They have a zip line.

"Park ranger" became irate, and started berating our friend about unloading at the docking area and demanded cars be moved, then when we went to move our car, he switched up saying we were okay to unload and to continue doing what we were doing, aside from our friend. Then continued to scream and threaten citing us for trying to talk about the situation and defend ourselves. Very unprofessional, immature and embarrassing.

Quiet, beautiful and well taken care of. We stumbled across this park last year and have been going to it consistently. It has a nice kids playground, lots of places to grill and have family outings as well as walking path in woods that I have yet to see where it actually ends off. A nice place for sure. Oh and it is great for boating I assume...
