"We did paddled the river using the outfitter stationed there - Burning River Adventures. Nice 6.5 mile paddle. Our pup was welcome on the shuttle and their boats. Highly recommend this paddle spot!"

"I have been coming to this park for.....well a long time and have always liked it. We used to come here when the river would overflow and flood the entire park.. roads and all. We would come and drive through the flooded roads and be overgrown children. Today we brought some of my grandchildren here to eat our meal from the B&K Root beer drive in nearby and then walked and played in the river and at the playground. It is a nice park for walking, riding bikes, etc since there is a lot paved roads and parking areas. There were lots of people tubing in the river, which will be next for us. The playground is pretty nice and have different areas for all ages. Plenty of pavillion picnic areas with grills and they even have concrete corn hole at each of them. Also plenty of picnic tables spread throughout the park. There is a place to dock kayaks and canoes, a fenced in dog area and a baseball field as well. Really nice family park."

"Great place when it's not crowed. (We do not go during busy times... DON'T DO IT). $22 for an adult and child resident to get in. Way more money for non residents. The grounds were clean. The park needed more tubes for the lazy river and slides. Concession stand was reasonably priced and food was good. The safety breaks every hour were good and kept at 15 minutes. Lifeguards were professional and made everyone follow rules. (On non busy times) It is $40 to rent a cabana."
