The view during the drive up and down was absolutely stunning. The trail walk was a delight. Saw cicadas and chipmunks during the walk. The outdoor chapel was the highlight of the walk for me. We sat and sang praises to the Lord. It was a beautiful moment. I will definitely be going back!
Amazing trail! Nice scenery. Fairly easy trail. Too bad about the construction around it. It just won’t be the same. A very somber feeling 😢
Gorgeous and peaceful! Beautiful places for the picnic, walking with dog and family.
The nature trail is as beautiful as ever, except for the atrocity of a subdivision being built directly behind the chapel. I'm grateful that my husband and I were able to exchange our vows there years ago, but it's disappointing to know that nobody else will be able to share their special day without a bunch of ugly houses in the background instead of the beautiful, thick forest that was once there.
This is a wonderful park with a beautiful walking trail around a picturesque lake. With the covered bridge, it is absolutely stunning! Restrooms are on site as well. Make note of the 4:30 closing signs.
Our second time there. Never disappoint. Great hike for people like us over 65 with grandchildren.🤗 Colors were changing but not peak, yet. Beautiful reflection on the pond and covered bridge has windows that frame the view to the pond. Will go back!!
This place is very neat, and has some nice walking trails, picnic areas, and a large pond for fishing. There are a few neat little fairy homes the kids will like, and the covered bridge is cool too. Don’t get excited to see the “moonshine still” as it’s just a hodgepodge of items trying to represent an old still, but it’s far from realistic. It’s a nice place to spend some time if you’re looking for things to do in the area.
Very peaceful and well-maintained trail. The main trail is gravel and wood chips, and very clearly marked as it goes around the water. There are several off-shoots if you would like a longer hike, or just keep going around the loop. Plenty of seating at the entrance with picnic tables, wooden chairs, and even a couple bench swings. You can go out on the little pier and enjoy the fresh air, and there are multiple points of interest as you go along the trail. Very dog-friendly with fresh water at the start. Make sure you pay attention to the time if you're there close to sunset, because they close the gate every night. They recently added signs throughout the loop to help inform hikers of this, although the hours have always been posted at the beginning.
All-in-all, well worth the visit, and usually not too crowded, which is nice. We enjoy coming here with all of our family, including our dog and toddler as well as grandparents and great-grandma.
