Fast forward a couple of decades later and I find myself back in the Collingswood area. Now granted, for the past 16 years, I had called Lake Tahoe my backyard so back to Cooper River was a bit of a .... come down. Still, I've come to enjoy certain parts of it. The county park has some great summer events, and if you are in the mood to go for a bike ride or walk around the lake, it's fine. There is lots of parking available. Just be careful if there are big special events when parking is a bit trickier.

This place could be fun, but it really needs some work. The lake area is smaller than expected, and…read moremost of it is fenced off -- it feels more like a pond than a real lake. The swimming space is super crowded, and the water didn't look very clean. A lot of the facilities and equipment are worn down and could use maintenance. That said, the idea of having grills, a bar, and volleyball is great, and the food was decent. Bathrooms were clean, and the staff wasn't rude, just not very attentive. It's okay if you're local and want something cheap and close by, but definitely don't expect a relaxing "beach day."

I don't think FIsh and Wildlife game wardens are checking for fishing permits, don't worry, LOL. There is a fairly narrow bridge road where if two cars pass each other at the same time, you kind of hold your breath and hope you don't end up like Chappaquiddick. Slow down people, this bridge was built way before SUVs and big trucks were a norm.

Intro to Rock Climbing with Valley to Summit on September 18, 2022…read more This was my second trip to Chickies Rock with VTS and it was wonderful! There were only 5 of us, so plenty of time to climb. Our Guide, Bob, was so patient, engaged and informative. I learned a lot of great things that I had not known before about clothing, ropes and technique. Bob was so patient with me and was there with his " green pointer" to help me over the tough spots. You should know that I am 74 years old and tho I have climbed indoors for a few years, my stamina was not that of the youngsters who were there! Nonetheless, it was a great time! I highly recommend Valley to Summit, this being my 3 rd trip with them. They Rock!

We were scheduled to do a 1/2 day ice hike at Ricketts Glen. I had spoken to the owner Dave and…read morelet him know of my disabilities. He asked a few questions, then determined that it should be OK for me to go on the hike. Shortly before the hike we received an email from Dave saying that because of the warm weather the trip would not have as much ice as it normally does. He offered to reschedule or refund our money if we wanted, but also said we could go if we wanted. We wanted. When I got there Dave and the guides were fantastic. Very personable. They were helpful but without being intrusive. One of them carried one of my forearm canes in his backpack in case I needed it. (This was to have one hand free for the ice axe.) The hike was great. At the end of the hike I asked one of the guides if he thought I could do the repelling they offer... he conferred with the owner and the lead repeller guide, and they agreed that I would be allowed to do that in the Spring. I highly recommend Valley to Summit for a great time. I look forward to a full day ice hike in February.
