Sorry didn't want this to be my 13th review…read more This was my favorite place to relax during my first year of college. An excuse to look at ducks and have a refreshing drink is always lovely, granted that's easy to do back home for me too, but lucky for me, there was something wonderful open. The cave of cave springs was beautiful, the atmosphere was eye opening, and the natural shapes were beautiful, it was short, but it was beautiful, next time it's open, you should go there, and bring the family.

Exploring the cave was so much fun - and surprisingly cold inside! While the cave itself isn't…read morehuge, it's absolutely worth the visit. Admission is just $2, and kids five and under are free! Outside, there's a beautiful creek where you can splash, explore, and even catch crawfish -- which we did a lot of! You can also feed rainbow trout in the nearby stream, which the kids loved. One of the most unique and special things about this place is the fresh spring water. Locals and visitors line up to fill gallons of it because it's clean, natural, and totally drinkable right from the source. Of course we tried it - and it really is some of the best-tasting water we've had! This place is a hidden gem and we'll definitely be back!

Amazing trails, hiking, bring your own kayak or boat, great wildlife. There is a small fee for the day I believe it's $5.00 it's alcohol free park and there's always plenty of Park Rangers there that are very nice and very helpful.

~First review of 2023~…read more I'd give this park maybe a 3.5. There are so many great parks where I live in Gwinnett County that can be relied upon for cleanliness, available bathrooms, picnic areas, and that are overall great for functions and gatherings, I've gotten spoiled. This was my first time up to Rome on January 2nd, and maybe things were in the condition that they were due to it being the day after a holiday (short staffed or just employees not back to work yet). However, the first thing I noticed about this park is that the bathrooms were filthy and not maintained. There were several stalls, but maybe only one or two were functional and not clean but acceptable. Most of the toilets were overflowing. Tampons and paper littered the floors. It was just not an appealing first time experience because of the bathroom situation. Additionally, there only seemed to be sanitizer inside the stalls and no working sink nearby. So this added to the feelings of filth. You could flush most (not all) of the toilets, but even then you'd have to press the buttons really hard. Getting past the bathrooms, there were several picnic areas, nice views of the Oostanaula River (which I'd never heard of, but thanks to Google now I have), at least three different play areas for the kids, a seemingly nice set of trails to wander, a stage for performances, and ample parking. Overall, the park itself was nice, but it seems like a better place for locals and not really convenient if you're from out of town. If you don't mind the filthy restrooms or are fine with stopping at a gas station on the way in or out, then I'd recommend this spot just to walk or picnic at or to bring the kids to play. If you live in the area, obviously, just go at home, if you prefer. For me personally, it was a nice place to stop and have lunch at after a long drive, but I think "when in Rome" I'll just go straight to Berry College next time which is what I really would like to check out in the area and see if there's an outdoor space to just eat there while visiting.
