Flowing Well Park

"This park is such an amazing find within the city. First off, the concept of flowing well amazed me. I wasn’t aware I would see so many people stop by just for ground water. I have used a filter all my life so it was interesting to see everyone stop and pick up water. The place originally was discovered for natural gas but in 1900s drillers dug up water. This led to flowing well. What was interesting about this was everything laid out about the historic flowing well. The park itself has been renovated recently and there are benches dotted throughout the hike and nice small bridges plus paved ways in the park. The flowing creek makes the walk even more beautiful. While it’s certainly not the biggest park, it definitely is a neat one within the city overlooking beautiful homes and the streets itself."

"This is one of my favorite parks in the area. Absolutely gorgeous and well maintained paths all throughout and that's not even mentioning the best part: the creek! Stones smooth enough to walk barefoot and a wide creek-bed create an environment that's fun for families, couples, dogs, and honestly anybody else! The creek goes from about half an inch deep in some areas to at least waist deep in others so there are many options for interacting with the nature. Flowing Well is beautiful all times of year and, if you can stand slightly chilly water conditions, is the best in the autumn. You can find fossils in the creek too, if you're willing to look hard and spend a while in the water!"

"Loved this park. Stopped by with my wife and daughter today to go for a hike. Was surprised by how large the park is and how many trails there are. This park has some very old and very giant trees, which I absolutely loved to see. I could have stayed in the first all day. Really pleasant place."

"Small and friendly pet nature walk. Use a lease for your dog and bring bags for it. Optative to play in the little water river but keep in mind it's not a clear water. You can wash your foot in a little shower on the way out."

"Well maintained park with dirt/gravel trails. Depending on your speed, you can walk the whole trail in less than an hour. There is a super nice restroom on site, a pavilion that is rentable, a decent amount of parking and of course the historic flowing well. The well was frequented by a surprising amount of people (to me) that were filling up jugs, etc. So we took it for a spin ourselves. The trail is filled with informational signs and views of the creek which runs through it. I probably wouldn’t visit the park again because there wasn’t too much to see, however it’s super pleasant for a short weekend or after work walk!"
