"Interesting place to visit. Nice setting to visit and take photos. The blue heron didn't seemed thrilled with our presence but we tried not to disturb it too much.The swings were fun also."
"Great place for pictures, picnic. There are swing sets, very peaceful"
"Beautiful area to come for a walk or sit by the water! The bridges and Sawmill are beautiful. It was quiet when we went so we were also able to walk our dog on her leash which she loved!"
"Quick peaceful walk with our dog. Small little pond that I see people fishing at. Great spot to have lunch at, picnic tables available (yes, 6 feet apart)."
