La Toya Jackson

it's a nice park. i love the access to the Catawba! well maintained. the restrooms are really clean. there is a treatment plant right on the premises so, their is an odor depending on where you stand. the river hawk trail is really nice. it's paved mostly. there is a large field right off 1 of the parking lots that's open for whatever activity. there are other fields with goals and such. plenty free parking. child play area. i only saw 1 covered eating area, but a nice place to eat on your tail gate or trunk. 2 dog parks. ada accessible. highly recommend.

nice quiet trail. well worn. you can walk into the river at some points. no trash cans or doggie bags for waste, pretty clean though. trail is historical with a landmark posting at 1 end. safe. easy. i recommend.

it's a nice path. it winds by the Catawba river. paved all the way. wide path. easy access even for mobility devices. there is only 1 grade i think may be a lil challenging for those with such, but besides that, smooth walk. it's mostly tree covered. it gets far enough from traffic where all you hear is nature. nice views of river and of the dam, somewhat. it's out and back. it turns around at a house lined street. a few trash cans and doggie bags on trail. some litter that i went ahead and picked up. plenty of parking. no toilets. a canoe launch is close to parking lot. i recommend. ALSO, across the street is trail to South Fork and Blueway Trail.

the portion for the price is reasonable. i had the jerk chicken plate. the chicken was seasoned nicely. the beans & rice was ok. the plantains were fried perfectly. i would visit again to try another dish.
