It's a nice little park area with clear walking trails and plenty of parking. There's a marina and sailing/yacht clubs nearby so you can watch the boats when the weather is nice. Lots of benches and grass areas so it's a great spot to watch a sunrise or sunset. I don't fish but there's always people doing so in the area, so I would assume it's a decent spot for it haha

It loops around and ends back at the parking lot. This is a natural trail so parts were very muddy. It winds through the woods and along a creek.

We saw lots of wildlife and listening to the frogs was awesome. We also tried to take a loop path through the woods, but it was extremely muddy and at one point we couldn't figure out where the path went and had to turn around. There is a nice pavilion and there are restrooms.

When I was planning a weekend getaway to Cedar Point for the BF's birthday, I knew we would want to…read morefind somewhere to stay for the night since we'll be staying at the park late. A quick search on TripAdvisor gave me a handful of options in my price range. Of course, you could always stay in the Cedar Point hotels, but they were way too expensive. I stumbled onto the Farrell House Lodge by accident, after trying to find something cheaper than the $190 that the Best Western Sandusky was offering me. I managed to get a room at Farrell House for a little over $150 for the night, which I thought was a steal. They had great reviews and I had never been to a B&B before, so I was sold. They offer daily check in between 3pm - 6pm, which we wouldn't be able to make due to being at the park. I called Doug at FHL the day before and he was able to work it out for me. He would pre-register me and leave me a key to the room, which was right where he said it would be when we arrived. The room was a little on the small side, but more than enough for the two of us. The bathroom was really nice and the entire property felt very homey. The next morning, we were able to get a hot breakfast before we started our drive back to Michigan, which was really appreciated. It's basically made to order, so it's not some continental breakfast that most chain hotels offer. Thanks so much to Doug and Heidi who made us feel so much at home! My only gripe would be how hard it is to find in the dark! We drove by their driveway at least twice before I spotted the "shady little road that goes into the trees". Low and behold, there it was! If you're coming from Cedar Point, just turn left - opposite to what Google Maps tells you to go!

Hunter contacted me within a few days of making a deposit and kept in constant contact while waiting out the weather and my work schedule. We met at the selected time and place and after some brief conversation we headed to the river. River fishing is very new to me. We talked how how to wade safely especially on the slippery and muddy conditions and how to safely wade unfamiliar water. We got started by Hunter evaluating my rig then watched my casting offering tips and suggestions throughout. We discussed different methods from streamers to nymphing as well as how to fish riffles or not. All in all I feel I got a tremendous amount of info from an experienced angler that I could ask questions as they came up and not just a YouTube video. The best advice though was to get out and do it! I felt as if I was fishing with my brother! Thanks Hunter!
