Reviews
"A great place for a hike. The trails are well marked and maintained. The main trails are good for kids, nothing too strenuous. The side trails offer a better challenge for those interested. It is also very dog friendly, and has some off-leash sections."
"Small park with a nice low-key hiking trail. I went hiking with my 7-year old son and we had a great time. A nice easy walk next to Rocky Woods Reservation."
"Suck a beautiful place, Awesome lake Good for dog waking Have a beautiful beaver city The sunset in the winter is so so so gorgeous I loved"
"Nice 1-mile or so walk through old woods, past an old field and scenic swampland. Old artifacts like shed remnants and house foundation ruins. At the far end, the site of the old mill. There's even a little hill to climb! Great area. Noone was there on a Wednesday morning."
"We like the Fork Factory side of the park: the kids love exploring around the old mill site, playing in the waterfalls. The summit has a good view, and further west along the ridge there are the remains of an old cabin, complete with wooden watering trough, basement, and rusted wash pans. Beware that the ridge trail is too narrow in places for a double-wide jogger stroller."
