It is our second time visiting for the fall colors and it's been a great experience so far. Beautiful area, with opportunities for hiking, biking, camping, and just enjoying the mountain. Hands down one of the best places for this adventure.

Beautiful little park with clean restrooms. It would be nice if people would pick up after their dogs, but that's not the parks fault. Lot's of beautiful fall colors this time of year as well.

This is an absolutely gorgeous park that has some of the best fall colors in the state. It has a rare combination of brilliant red’s yellows and oranges during the peak leaf season. It also has an amazing hiking and biking trail that is iconic that is typically done as a shuttle from the bottom up to the top and then take it going back down to the bottom. The trail is appropriately called the “WOW” trail. There is a small lake and visitor center with bathrooms at the bottom as well as a good size parking lot with bathrooms at the top

Played 18 holes at their Lakes course and was thoroughly impressed with all of the experience. Golf Course(s) = diverse, challenging, rewards quality shots while punishing bad ones. All Par 3’s have water as a forced carry. Staff = knowledgeable, friendly, seem to really enjoy their jobs. Amenities = new carts, stunning driving range Cost = pricey for public course, but once you play you’ll understand why they can charge $60-80 per round. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
