Of course, there's tons of other things to see around it. The popular activities include boating, fishing, and picnicking. Bigger park with a lot of history. It's an area that was purchased by the state in 1969 and turned into a park. The park was originally 1,250 acres, and added a prairie restoration project in 1980 among expansions since. Kind of what the land was like before settlers took it. There's a path that goes through it where visitors can check out animals, grass, and wildflowers. A few man made lakes are highlights. Loon Lake is the biggest one, popular for fishing or getting photos. A refreshment stand is located by it. The spring is the biggest attraction of the park though. Amazingly the water in it never freezes. There's amazing plantlife around it including watercress. Also fun when it's colder. There's a toboggan hill that's fairly steep. Among the kinds of trails are equestrian. There's also plenty for basic hiking. Has lots to look at here for hours and you can even stay overnight by camping. It's got an area that's available for youth groups. This area is only reachable through backpacking so it's far away from loud noises or vehicles.

Parking can be a hit or miss and there's plenty of construction happening. Great area dedicated to our veterans on the north side of the park. I say the con of the park is the port o potty. You need a flash light to get in there and it's not clean at all so be forewarned.

This park is gorgeously maintained and has quaint little gardens that brighten up the place when you see butterflies flying about. The kid's park looks perfect for about ages 4-10. Has swings (sorry I didn't notice if they had handicap accessible swings), sand pit, water mister, climbing areas and slides galore. You are come right up the Fox River and there is a rocky area where kayaks were constantly coming and going. I brought the kids over there to find seashells and skip rocks. There were a lot of people walking their dogs - some dogs were going for a swim! There are a lot of mature trees so there is plenty of shade. I will try to come to this park more often!

Check the website for a trail map, but most of them intersect (even though it is not always clearly marked). Sitting by the river and looking at the blind on the island we saw a bald eagle fly right overhead. So cool! I didn't believe my friend when he said they were here around the fox. There are 2 lots at each end of the park, the Northeastern one featuring a boat launch that is kayak & raft capable (though I'm not sure where you'd get off. Maybe Silver Springs state park? The way the high trail is set up it definitely looks like it could be a mosquito breeding ground next to it during the appropriate months. Bring DEET if you think it'll be an issue, but in early October it was mostly a non-issue. There is a tick warning as well, but we didn't find any. The only thing you need to watch out for is mountain bikers (and I guess the occasional horse / horse apple). They will be coming, and some of them can move pretty fast. You'll hear them on a hike, but be courteous and step to the side of the trail and everyone can enjoy this location.

The splash pad is perfect for little kids who tend to run and take off because the splash pad is completely fenced in. There are also separate bathroom facilities just for the splash pad. The only bummer is that the splash pad is on concrete and doesn't have the rubber.

The course has a great deal of design variance mixing par 3's, 4's and 5's. Several holes feature hills, turning fairways and good natural traps (yeah..I'm referring to tree's) My favorite hole is in the early teens (I think)..the basket is actually up on wooden/cement pedestal, making the upwards throw unique. The entire course is well marked with photo's of the fairways and baskets at each tee. Speaking of which, each hole has both a regular and pro cement tee pad. Many holes have benches and seats as well. Aside from a few skinny fairways this course is spot on. A departing word to the wise, this is probably a mosquito's haven when the tree's, bushes and warmer temps are in season. Bring your bug juice! Great course though...be sure to check it out.
