very nice here. they clean the portapotties often, including a deep clean. staff were all nice. the…read morevibe was amazing. will be returning. wouldn't recommend bringing your kids during a festival weekend unless you're aware.. iykyk

the most terrible staff I have ever experienced at any music festival. I have gone to 20+ festivals…read morea year nationwide for the past several ywars and have never experienced the kind of hostility and disrespect as I did from the staff at this venue. The place was beautiful and I went to see my favorite band lotus, who were amazing to see live, but it was like the staff were on a mission to ruin everybody's fun. I witnessed staff on golf carts shutting down after parties, making people turn their music off who weren't even blasting it loud. I had my feet dipped in the water around 6:30 and was relaxing, not realizing a woman was screaming at me through a megaphone to get my feet out of the water or I would be kicked out. I asked what the hell the problem was and she said you can't be in the water past 7. it wasn't even 7 yet, it was broad daylight and only the bottom few inches of my legs were in the water. it was comical. people go to festivals to escape being told what to do. the whole reason people go is to have fun, and anything that even resembled that was immediately shut down by the staff. when I left the venue, as I was exiting I was going not even 10 mph and 3 woman at the front screamed at me to slow down, as if I was going 50 mph. I wasn't around the campsites or any people. just a terrible way to say goodbye. the people who run that place don't care about the people who are supporting and making those events possible. maybe they should care a little bit about their opinions. i am a very compassionate and understanding person who has volunteered at festivals and know why rules need to sometimes be put in place, but it really rubbed me the wrong way to drive across the country and pay a couple hundred to deal with that kind of disrespect

Another county park in the fabulous Geauga Parks District system, it has the well-groomed trails…read moreand smart amenities this park system is known for. Burton Wetlands is just that - copious amounts of water-logged lands in the rural township of Burton. This park features 2 human walk paths amongst these swampy features. The shorter Glacier Trail is a 0.5-mile stretech of "civilized" gravel walkway that winds you through the forest to Lake Kelso - a completely natural glacial lake formed by none other than the monsterous glacier that once sat on this area carving lakes and depositing silt as it expanded and contracted over thousands of years. At the end of the short walk is a canoe launch and a boardwalk to a dual observation deck. Further penetration around the lake is stopped by the boggy brush but the observation deck allows you to watch for jumping fish, eagles, herons, turtles, and all the other swampy critters who make this place home. Because of the natural preservation status of Lake Kelso, park officials only occasionally grant lake access for park-sponsored canoe programs but no other on-lake access is allowed to the public. The nearby house is home to the county's senior naturalist on staff. This whole gorgeous area surrounding the lake used to be someone's personal property - can you imagine that?! The second trail is longer, more natural, and is a loop trail. Except for the immediate entry, gravel doesn't layer this footing so expect far more mud and slosh than its sister trail. It first takes you across a grassy meadow before heading into a muddy forest next to swampy ponds. Expect to see lots of beaver dams, gnawings, and the occasional beaver him/herself. There's a little more up/down with this path but absolutely nothing strenuous or climby about it. Wetlands, as they all do, breed mosquitoes and deer flies - and the ones here are quite voracious during the above-70-deg-F season - so protect yourself accordingly (long sleeves, repellent, hat, etc.). A well-preserved natural area under the guise of good stewardship plus its quiet remoteness makes it one of our favorite parks.
