"Found another shocking PG county oasis. Five stars, an absolutely gorgeous and serene location with beautiful views."
"The kayak launch ramp ended in a muddy mess a several feet from the water. There was a fair amount of wildlife including a beaver, bald eagle, sand piper and kingfishers. Was only able to go about a mile south before being blocked be pile of downed trees. And that was with going over and through some downed trees. Going up the river, but stopped at the the Route 50 bridge. There was a place that was almost blocked about 1/2 mile up but was able to make it by to left. Don't know how much farther past Route 50 bridge we could have gone, but that was about .7 of a mile."
"A good place for a nice walk, has never been crowded when we were there. The paths are clear and easy to follow. The beavers dammed up a new pond over our favorite route, but we've found a few new ones. Hoping to try fishing with the kids this summer. I miss the Port-a-potty that was removed after Covid hit, it really limits the length of a visit with smaller children."
"Good for a quick stroll in the outdoors. Fairly small scale in terms of overall size, but it's fairly maintained and quite lovely. Make sure to bring a good pair of boots for those hiking. I had the area mostly to myself this morning, and was able to walk the majority in about an hour's time (barring some time to stop and get some shots with the Nikon). Parking is in a lot by the front, and there is access for vehicles going to the canoe launch. A nice place to forget about things for a bit!"
"Pros: The parking is adequate, trails are mowed or decently kept up with, beautiful scenery with views of small ponds, streams, and the river. Plenty of wildlife around and overall a great place to bring the family. Cons: Around the parking area there is a bit of trash, and the one portable bathroom could be kept up with more. The trail signs could be updated to show a little more information. Overall I give this location a solid four stars. I went on a brisk walk in the area and loved it. With some minor improvements this area could be much better."
