It's a popular place for hiking and fishing so on busy days parking is difficult, but most of the time is not an issue. *Note to make sure to use tick spray both on yourself and the pets.* It has a nice walking path around the lake and a waterfall trail, which is great a few days after the rain. I spotted a bear in the back of the lake (on the right side in the bushy area) when walking around the lake during the evening, so this is something to be aware of. It has an upper reservoir where people often take their dogs to splash in the water, but be aware that there are no safety rails where the water overflows, close to where dogs and kids splash in the water and that always scares me. Additionally, this may look like a relatively small park, but you can easily get lost and in some areas if you go down the hill by taking left instead of right due to phone GPS not recognizing direction, it's going to be extremely difficult to go back up that hill. So make sure to lookup trails first prior to going in deep, and it's best to bring a map for safety. The best part of most of the areas I've been to has cellphone reception.
