Reviews
"Haven't been on the trails here yet, when I do ill rewrite my experience so far though very beautiful."
"nice place to just go see nature. cool waterfall and lots of grassy space."
"Great place to sit and listen. Nice waterfall with a kayak launch in the area."
"Trails were a bit narrow, but were still passable and in good shape. Not busy at all and a good variety of sights for a short hike. For the trail map, you can view it on OpenStreetMap."
"Great little park. Very convenient boat ramp to eagleville pond. Area was very clean. Beautiful view of the "waterfall" comming from the damn. The paddling up the eagleville pond and up the willimantic is fantastic."
