Great place to walk your dogs, or go fishing. Me and my husband really enjoy walking the dogs here, so I recommend taking your furbabies here!
This is a small park, with no playground or restrooms. It's a great spot to go fishing, go for a walk or run, and to observe wildlife. Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets, geese, ducks, rabbits, all kinds of birds, bees, butterflies, and more. One of my favorite photography locations. Bring your water bottle and go exploring by the river.
It was almost as much fun hanging out there as it was climbing trees in Thailand the only thing more fun than watching the old time alcoholics and young time crackheads under the bridge practicing their craft was when all the heavy weights came out for the bum fights we were betting on them like we were at the Alameda horse track back in the good old days
This park is here as a result of the work done during the 40's, 50's and 60's to change the flood plane by diverting the river and end all flooding in town. Successful! A beautiful job they did, enjoy!
It’s fun to go out on the water isn’t that bad, the waters nicer past the keeper of the planes, you can fish it and do quite a bit of water sports on it, just wish people wouldn’t dump so much trash in it this beautiful resource. Good times and relaxation can be found here if you know where to look.
All in all, this is a pretty nice place to take your family or to just get away by yourself. This is a dog friendly trail and park and it seems that people respect that fact in the sense that it isn't littered with "Doggy Business". In all honesty this place seemed to be fairly clear of litter period. Recommended over Sedgwick county park for a peaceful outing
Well the time I went out there the fish wasn't biting but I caught a hell of a buzz
The parking lot was full of trash lying around. There are plenty of trash cans place everywhere.
The group I was with enjoyed the long and wide paths that led us to downtown Wichita.
