"Pleasantly surprised with how beautiful the drive through the wooded winding roads, then the final drive across the water into a perfect little oasis! Not to mention all the great picnic shelters for family gatherings."

"This is a very beautiful park! I enjoy walking the causeway as the sun goes down. Parking is conveniently located to the water ($5 parking fee) and there are also easy to access bathrooms. Note- they will kick you out as SOON as the sunsets."

"Beautiful scenery great place for a relaxing walk with the family. The drive in was breathtaking . The beach area is all the way at the end of the park. It wasn’t too crowded on a Sunday to my surprise. The first address I used brought me to the park in the front but if you keep driving towards the back it’ll bring you to this beautiful open area on the water."

"Long trails through the woods. Plenty wide, smooth, and clean. First time I've been to a park with zero litter. The trails would be great for bikes or wheelchairs. Lots of covered picnic areas, plenty of room for at least 20 or more people in each one with charcoal grills in each. There is a playground in the wooded area that i think is fenced. It's probably good for people with multiple kids. This park is patrolled, and littering is heavily fined as is letting your dogs off a leash, except the water area of the first half of the bridge. I love that. Pet friendly until the bridge. It's not actuality a bridge, but it is well above water with water on both sides. There is parking on the bridge, and there are steps down so people can let their dogs swim until the halfway point. There is a small island surrounded by a beach. I had my dog with me so I couldn't get out but the beach looked nice from the parking lot."
