Nice sandy beach but you are a brave soul to go into the lake unless it's crazy hot, chilly water! Nice walk out to the lighthouse and views of the city from the shoreline. Worth the stop.

The real attraction here is the walk on the north Manitowoc jetty. On your way to the lighthouse you will come upon a water impoundment that can be rife with shore birds. A little further on is the Paws and Play dog park. Beyond is the walk to the lighthouse. If it is windy and the surf is up you might skip the lighthouse walk because you'll get wet or worse. All in all a nice area to spend a couple of hours. Bring your binoculars and snacks. On a sunny day this can be a great day in the making. On a cold, rainy day, not so much. People in Manitowoc are usually friendly. Take the time to chat, you might make a new friend.

Lesson learned; October is a time when the waterfall is not flowing so we could see the stones and…read morerocks which are fascinating, but no flowing water to enjoy. We started on the trail but quickly lost it and so we headed back after a short hike. But the view of the falls and woods is beautiful so we enjoyed ourselves anyway. I guess we just got our timing wrong. As we got back to the car we found ourselves parked among many trucks with bow hunters. They were friendly and heading deeper into the property but we felt it was time to leave since we did not have any blaze orange on and our dogs were with us. I imagine spring is a better time to visit and I will check further before we visit again. There is no parking or entry fee, but there is a box for donations as you feel are appropriate.

We got to a crowded parking lot, and parked in one of the few empty spots. The walk to to waterfall overlook is easy if not a bit muddy. This is a pretty waterfall about twenty feet high. There are trails that take you around and down to the bottom of the falls. Nice spot to visit and take pictures. There are no restrooms or picnic areas, just the falls. I have to add social commentary here. We met about thirty people walking to and from the falls. The twenty something's walked by with their eyes firmly on the ground. The forty something's looked up and said hello back. The sixty somethings made eye contact, smiled and said a pleasant hello. Generational differences were apparent. Bottom line, this is a very pretty spot for a quick visit. Be respectful of the private property.

This is a unique park in Manitowoc County. There is a natural limestone escarpment that runs along…read morethe West Twin River. The park itself is well maintained. There are natural caves that have formed in the limestone escarpment. Some are just big enough to peer into, and a couple you can wiggle into for a few feet. The caves are marked so you know which one you're looking at. The park has some good hiking trails. This is the main reason I come here. There is a nice trail above the escarpment. That one winds around several acres of wooded landscape. The lower ones follow the escarpment to each cave and continues along the river for the better part of a mile. If you're into hiking, this is a nice 4 mile hike.

But be smarter than me and put on bug spray! I got so many mosquito bites during my short stay. Granted, I visited right after it rained, so all of the little bug were out and looking for fresh blood. Along with mosquitos, I also saw wild turkeys! I was surprised and delighted to see them in the brush, but apparently wild turkeys are common around this area. I've never seen one in the wild, though! So to me, it was kind of cool. There's also an osprey nest on the grounds somewhere, but I never saw it. There are two ponds here, where you can go fishing, if you wish. If you don't wish to fish, you can feed the fish if you have a quarter: There's a fish food dispenser by the pond. Osprey Point is a nice little park to walk around and see some Wisconsin nature. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Rotating basket placements, looks like 2-3 per hole. Well maintained. Lighthouse hole and top of the world are awesome. Cement tee boxes. Mach X baskets. 36 holes very spread out. Relatively easy to navigate due to signage. Cons: A couple holes are muddy. Some signage is misleading. Par on a couple holes is screwy. Water hazards come into play on a few holes (can also be a pro). I lost a disc in Lake Michigan on the lighthouse hole while goofing around :/

I wouldn't expect more than 30-45 minutes needed to visit. And if you have older kids, maybe not the most compelling stop. But hey, it is free (unless you give a donation, which you should do!) so I can't complain too much. It gave my family something to do for the afternoon before dinner and the zoo is part of a larger park system, so you could probably find other things to do to make it an afternoon with no fees.
