Absolutely beautiful area for a walk or run! Multiple trail options. The ones I found were sun trail, woodland trail, and savanna trail. All were enjoyable. Probably added up to 4 or 5 miles total. Quiet and peaceful area with a few cool bridges. Old school house on the grounds that does tours each 1st Sunday of the month (seasonally). Visited 6/3/2025.

Love coming out here in the morning for breakfast or to break out my camping stove, SO green in the summer, very quiet! There are plenty of tables, a place for the kids, and a nice area for campers.

What a great spot. Stayed in their campground. $12 or $20 with electric. Shade or sunny spots. Big trees and nice lawn.
