I was looking for a park to just relax at until I had to go back to the airport to catch my flight…read more I had just stopped at Panera Bread to get some breakfast and I just wanted to sit by the water and enjoy my sandwich and coffee. I kind of got an odd feeling as I approached this park as it's directly across from a salvage/wrecking/towing yard that has a lot of busted vehicles lining the road and then the road leading up to the lake isn't really paved and a bit rocky. It doesn't take a 4-wheel drive or anything but just know there isn't really a road. I thought the road loops around but instead, it breaks off at a Y-intersection. I went to the right part of the Y and creepily enough there was an older model SUV parked at the end of the road blocking the entire roadway. The road ended in a cul-de-sac type grassy turn around area anyway so instead of continuing onward toward the SUV, I made a 3-point turn and headed back to the intersection. The SUV that was blocking the road obviously had camped overnight and had been there for a while. It looked like someone was living inside the SUV. I ventured onto the other side of the Y intersection and there was a lone man out on the dock fishing his heart out in the windy conditions and then another car off by the port-a-potty that also looked like it was being lived in. The lake does look quite beautiful and would probably be amazing on a warmer less windy day. There are signs that you can take out certain types of boats and there appears to be plenty of room to spread out on the docks if you want to fish. I read somewhere that the lake area had recently been cleaned up as a lot of people would go here to dump trash and mattresses or take part in illegal activities. This lake/recreation area didn't give me a positive vibe and I didn't feel quite safe here but maybe the feeling can change over time.

I heavily researched the Riversport site for my daughter's birthday, as we wanted to take a group to the Overholser location. Side note, we heard there are several activities kids can't do at the main downtown location. First off, the website isn't clear on what activities are where, as Riversport claims three locations: Downtown, Hefner, and Overholser. There are also inconsistencies on how much passes run in what locations. When we called the one-and-only number (main downtown location) to ask about Overholser location details (again...claimed on their website), the employee told us they knew nothing about it. We called back a second time referencing their website, and they still claimed they didn't know an Overholser location existed. Internal operations red flag #1. No clear information on the website, no help via phone. We ended up driving some ten-year-olds to the Overholser Boathouse crossing our fingers we could do some activities mentioned on the website. After digging for an address, we drove a half an hour and pulled up to the Overholser boathouse. The area was super impressive, and the boathouse was open with a few people in and out. We were excited and optimistic about the afternoon. When I approached the desk, I asked for day passes, and they said they only offer activities on the weekends (it was a Tuesday). Again - that would have been helpful to learn through their website or the two phone calls. I gave my feedback to the poor staff members who acknowledged that the main boathouse won't communicate with them, will barely acknowledge their location (clear from our phone calls), and won't fix their AC in 100-degree heat. Internal operations red flag #2. I walked away with some disappointed kids and vowed I'd advocate for those unfortunate sweaty staff members who got the brunt of my frustration. Full circle, I'm not eager to try again with Riversport and because of the red flags--I wouldn't recommend planning anything with them unless you want some major headaches.
