It's winter so no one else was there at first ... I gather it's popular for fishing in warmer weather. No one was at the booth to collect any fee this time of year. No hawk, eagle or ducks but a ton of vultures .. around 50. They were eating something ..i walked around the lake to see .. it appears they were eating their own ... just bones and feathers left. There is a boat dock and a river. Saw a kingfisher at the river. I'd spotted several but this was the first time got a pic .. they usually are too quick to fly away.

They do (not now of course) have boat rentals. There are really 2 places to park. One is right when you pass the small range/collect station you go a bit and look to your right. There is a kinda not noticeable entrance to a small parking/fishing area. Then if you drive a bit more around there is a much bigger parking area. There is also the rental building there. It has some nice places to lay down,walk, and just chill out. So do go and relax and enjoy.

Incredibly nice park tucked in a little off the beaten path. The kids playground look amazing! Sent…read morepics to our niece to let her know this was here. Well paved paths that seemed to be set up so folks with wheel chair bound or walking assists but just be forewarned there is a rather steepish hill toward the back.

It's also fenced in, which I know people with young and multiple kids would appreciate. There is a big lake right by it too so the playground being fenced in is a great safety measure. On really hot days the playground does get really hot though. The lake is a really nice and has a path around it. It's not huge, but still a nice place for some leisure activity. You can fish at the pond though. Lots of parking too. We will definitely be back to visit this park again.

Very OFF season, so there wasn't too much going on here, but I found my way to the lodge/playground area and took a nice, long-ish walk around the lake (approx. 1.7 miles!!) Looks like there's boats to rent and a nice patio to enjoy the view in warmer months, but I'm sure crowds are a BIT larger, as I pretty much had the place to myself in the hazy, drizzzly days of late winter. Seems to be a new-ish location, with main focus on sports fields. I'm just a tiny bit SPOILED by all of Ohioooooo's more lush, natural, "remote" state and metro parks, but this is not a bad choice, if you're in the area.

He read something about having birds of prey at this park .. we'd never been there and didn't realize it was going to take an hour to get there. When we arrived there were naturalists who had birds they had rehabilitated after illness or injury. All of them were not going to be able to be set free which is always sad but we got to observe them from a short distance and they answered questions about the bird which was interesting. YOu never know till you try .. if I had know that was all it was I'm not sure we would have drove that distance. we looked at the birds for about 30 minutes and drove back. there was no fee for the park or the birds of prey

Even on a crowded day there would be enough covered areas for everyone visiting. A nice touch is the covered picnic tables right near the play structures. This is particularly welcomed when visiting with young kids. Several play structures for different ages. There are also swings, a soccer field, hiking trail, and basketball court. The basketball court area is on an island surrounded by parking. Bathrooms were surprisingly clean. Bathrooms at parks aren't usually this clean. The park itself is really clean.
