Reviews
"Ran down, trash all over this park was way better yrs ago they had a pavilion years ago now there is nothing here"
"Good walk if you can avoid the poison ivy, horrid smell, or the drunk rednecks peeing on trees everywhere. Found a cool tree though!"
"Great walk. Meets up with park at Burns and Gulf. Waterfall. Bridge. Tunnel. Fun. Not easily accessible for handicap. Large hill to water and paths, narrow pathways and a few rain runs you have to step over."
"I like it because it has no swings for kids or seats to sit. It is just a park to walk amongst the trees. In the fall the autumn leaves can be beautiful. After a decent rain the little falls becomes a "mighty little" water falls. In the spring there are some wildflowers here and there. A nice place as it is."
"Has a few nice spots to sit and meditate. But no actual benches. Some of the terrain is a bit narrow. And the parking lot entrance is one car at a time kind of narrow. Good for a short walk/hike, but trails are not always the easiest to follow."
