The park itself is a gem hidden in the suburbs with a peaceful waterfall tucked away in the woods. There are plenty of dirt trails for a stroll or short run through the woods. If you’re looking for a longer run, this is a nice way to insert trails into that, but you’ll have to add roads or several loops to get any serious mileage. Restrooms aren’t reliably available or clean. Parking is sufficient the majority of the time.

This park is very quiet and peaceful. I really liked the miny paths off of the main walking path. It gives an interesting lost in the forest feel. Plenty of parking and clean grounds.
