You can even hike around the lake, which is not always easy, so if you are inexperienced, it may take up to 2 hours. Another cool feature of this park is that there is a waterfall (better pics in summer) that you can also hike all around. Lastly, not sure what's up with the goats and mules around, but they are super kind and it was like a free petting zoo for my kids. This might be our new "go to" park for walks and hikes that aren't too far from home, especially on days when you know Gathering Place is crazy packed.

In winter there are several kinds of gulls, lots of pelicans and cormorants. There are fishing areas above and below the dam as well as areas down the river. Several boat ramps have been closed due to silt and them not wanting to spend money to maintain them. It is getting pretty grown up now, but you can still follow the roads to the side of the river to look for birds or fish. The closed boat ramps are secluded and there is poaching, be careful.

The energy plant is nearby. I am sure at night this would be a nice place to take pictures. I don't know if I'll go out of my way to see this but if you're in the area doesn't hurt to drop by and check it out if you've never seen it before.

Our spot would always be at pine grove and would go fishing in their crappie pond and were thrilled when they added the new sand beach. Now in 2025, they have made our spot (Pine Grove) where me and many other families have always taken our spring break, fall break and other week vacations at and "annual only site" and closed it off. We thought okay that sucks but we can try out the others sites. We decided to try out Beaver Cove and that has been a MAJOR disappointment. The sites look like they have not been tidied up in who knows how long and their bathrooms are unclean and do not have any soap ever! No decent swimming/fishing areas around it. And ticks everywhere! You would figure if they decided to close off pine grove they would fix up the non-annual spots but no! Seems to be more about the money considering there are more annual spots than non-annual and they are better taken care of. After 11 years of camping here we have decided to look elsewhere to camp. So so so disappointed!!!!

Keep to the side of the trail and try to keep your eye out for bicycles as there is definite debate as to who has the right of way (Hint: it's the pedestrians but when your handlebar hits someone and you dump into the road, it's too late.) Playgrounds, picnic tables under a huge picnic pavilion, a basketball court and a disk golf course round out the other goings on here. Oh, and a dog park.
