Could use a little cleanup but it's quiet. Not really a park but theres a gazebo, a boat launch and a few parking spaces
My first time here. Enjoyed walking around except for the biting flies!! Went up on the bridge and met a nice man fishing and enjoyed the conversation with him. Now we are going back to try some fishing! ☺️
We canoed and picked up trash. Got 38 lbs in a couple of hrs
