What is there not to do here. The park offers so many Experiences for families. You can ride your…read morebikes, scooters, etc. The park also has hiking/ walking trails. Depending on the side of the park you can get your kayak in the river. Plenty of benches for sitting and having picnics. The elevation offers a great view for the fall trees. They also have restrooms at certain areas during seasonal use.

I actually came here to hike for the first time last week. Was very satisfied, and it was well…read moreworth the drive from Illinois to come here. So why am I docking it a star? Before coming here I did research on what are the recommended trails to hike, and what is popular with most people. The Lone Wolf and the River Scene trails were the top two, I found out. So they were at the top of my priority list. When I got to the park, I stopped in the Visitors Center (or park office?) to get a map. I did the Lone Wolf trail first, since it was the longest and supposedly the most grueling of the two. It was cool with all the lookout views and some of the decaying structures (there's a story that goes with that). But the part that annoyed me was how the trails were poorly marked. The River Scene Trail was red and the Lone Wolf trail was yellow. I knew they closed off a section of the River Scene trail due to erosion. But the map I saw online (at the park's website) and the map the park ranger gave me had two differently marked routes, which sparked a lot of confusion in me. I don't know why I got my feathers ruffled on that, but yeah. I hope they fix that section soon, or by next year. But I'll still return to check out some of the other trails!
