The trail is very shaded and was perfect to walk dogs, would also be handy for strollers. The only downside for me is some repairs needed with holes in the wood - had to make sure dogs did not step into them. The trails are really accessible with ramps as alternates to stairs as needed. Lots of parking.

Totally cliché, but I'm going to daringly say that Henderson Park has something for everyone. When…read moreI was there, I observed a kids soccer game, picnickers, hikers, dogs being walked by their owners, Girl Scouts having a meeting, fisherpeople, photoshoots, children playing, birthday parties, and people just chilling by the lake. Seriously, that's nearly everyone who wants to be outside! Regarding hiking, the trails are not marked very clearly. The map doesn't show all the turnoffs, and it gets confusing. Maybe it's this way to give you a sense of adventure? At least it's tough to get really lost since you're often within sight of houses or the road. Beautiful woods! As for restrooms, there was a porta potty in the parking lot adjacent to the playground by Lake Erin, and the map indicates that there are other restrooms in Henderson Park too. Speaking of maps, I might recommend a quick peek at one before you go since the park can be accessed from different roads (Henderson and Livsey). Didn't get to explore the other side of the park with the native plant and wildlife walk this trip but next time!

When the shelter in place order began, I looked for places to hike that were not too far from home…read more I came across Henderson Park and decided to give it a try. This is a great neighborhood park. If I lived nearby, I'd take a walk here every chance I could. In addition to the trails, there are athletic fields, a kids play area and a great wide deck where people can look out at the lake or eat a nice lunch. There is a lot of parking and the park itself is well-maintained. I was able to find a map of the park trails online, and it was helpful but trail maps aren't perfect. I tried to walk as many of the trails as I could, but I was turned around a lot. We'd also had a lot of rain prior to my visit so a lower trail path by the lake was flooded. There is a small waterfall in the park, and I think I saw it but I'm not sure. There were a lot of rock formations in the creeks/streams, and none were labeled. I went to Henderson Park with a friend who needed to use the bathroom. The main bathrooms are located on the west end of the park by the soccer fields. On the east end of the park, there are port-a-potties. There are no bathrooms near the kids park which was a surprise and why I mention where the bathrooms are located. Overall, I'm glad that I gave Henderson Park a visit. The people who live nearby are lucky to have it.

There are individual trails off the main trail where you walk through mud, dirt, and thick brush, so keep that in mind. For the trails less traveled, look out for the spider webs! Some of the trails lead down to the river. There are playgrounds, a bathroom area (not sure if it was open), and a one big gazebo if you want to rent the space for an event. If you want to get a nice walk or run in without a lot of people, this park is perfect.

If you have kids and live close, this is definitely a park you should be spending a few afternoons in with them.

As others have noted, this is a nice park with great amenities.

I wanna say this is one of the best running trails around Decatur from all the parks I've been to. Although you have to run past a gate that ultimately leads to two other parks, I feel safe because of the other runners and dog owners that come by here. I ran late so I wasn't in there for long maybe 45 minutes, but I'll come here again and try to get on the other trails. From what I saw a rock path across a stream, trails, and board walk make this a multifarious path. Bottom line: I recommend you come here whether your running, walking your dog or going out hiking casually.

Not sure if there's another entrance I missed, the park looked fairly large on the map but I walked around the area by the pool and didn't find much structure. The trails I did come across didn't seem very well maintained and I honestly felt uncomfortable being out there alone while halfway through a pregnancy, too many fallen branches, stumps, steep inclines and very, very narrow passageways. The pool itself looks a bit gross, dirty and uncovered with broken cement and dirt around from some sort of construction or renovation. They are building a playground at another far end of the park, so maybe it'll be in better shape one day.. but there's not much to it now.
