I was actually…read moreplanning to check out another local attraction (Pearl's Fen) but this place was on the way, so I stopped, mostly out of curiosity, and I'm SO glad I did!! I had limited time, but did make it about 3/4 of the way around the main trail, with stops along the way to take pictures. Wonderful, varied scenery, varied terrain, and VERY scenic!! This old quarry has been "repurposed" and is a great spot to "get away from it all" without going too far. A good-sized lake, a few easy to moderate trails (the rocky lake overlooks are nice!!) and plenty of parking are what you'll find. No, not the best trail markings/maps, but if I figured it out, anyone can!! A great spot to discover in Greene County, I'll be back!!

Overall beautiful park area, great lake view, plenty of space!…read more Difficulty -- A few trails not to difficult, Boat slip nicely manicured. Grooming -- Influx of unpaid road and pave road out balance them selves. Elevation -- None. Scenery -- very picturesque type atmosphere, lots of nature, around us, such as trees, and vegetation. Family Orientated -- definitely family orientated, easy enough to bring your dog and/or small children. Populated -- usually not very populated due to the proximity of the area off the major highway. Although in the summertime and towards the spring, obviously it will get more and more crowded although it's not unbearable. 10/10

Huffman Park is one of the largest Metroparks in Dayton. It's located in the east along the river…read more There's several ways to enter the park. It can get a little confusing. There's plenty of bike paths and trails. It has a few ways to get in. It has an entrance off Union Road which is good if you're on a bike. There's lots of bike trails here. If you go further on the road, you get to the main entrance. This has a good parking lot. It also is the most beautiful area. The best part is the lake, which is fun for pets. It's one of the best Metroparks. It has lots of bike paths connecting to the Ohio bike trail. You can also find other places to walk.

We don't do a lot of advance planning so we are often too late to get a spot with hookups. We've often ended up in overflow parking with no hookups but that works for us as we really just want a good place to park and sleep. They seem to run on a skeleton crew so getting someone on the phone is difficult but if you leave a message, they'll eventually get back to you (not necessarily the same day). There's a nice fishing lake (Bass Lake) adjacent and a group center with a small library and games. They have some family bunkhouses (think Cozy Cabins - bring your own linen, utensils, dishes) near the lake. Nice dog park and fire ring.

The bathhouse is centrally located and very well kept; I didn't even need to hookup to water. Not much to see there and not much shade, but spot was paved and level with a nice picnic table.

The park is comprised of a rather nice, small lake, a pond, a boardwalk, several wooded stretches and some farm land. I did not get a chance to go to the Visitor Center, but it looked quite nice. Horseback riding facilities are also available and there are some picnic pavilions that are rather nicely kept. I visited for the first time on a nice crisp early spring evening to take an hour hike. There are four trails of varying lengths. There is a short trail that just traverses the lake for about 3/4 mile. The remaining trail lengths are 1.5, 1.8 and 3.4 miles, respectively. I chose the 1.8-mile trail since I had a short time before park closing. The terrain, scenery and air were invigorating and certainly beat using a treadmill. I'll look forward to the chance to take the longest trail at some point in the future and perhaps also to visit the Visitor Center. It's a great place to collect one's thoughts.

Great place for a nice quiet walk by yourself or with someone. Very nice and peaceful here.read more

Dave is a ninja and…read moreI love his style but he doesn't like Crazy disrespect and loud and obnoxious people who don't respect his Campground. I think it's a great place for the community and kids are protected by the long term commitment of the staff and community members. Great fishing spots and the beach area has been updated tremendously since I stayed there five summers ago so it's worth the price and I don't think it's too much to ask for people to pay to keep it there for 60 years and Dave loves spoiling guests one hell of Fireworks and the convenience store that is now epic! Laundry room on site and for those who want a shower it's been updated to the next level of expectations of me and I have worked the restroom duty and it's not just me but RESPECT is the only way to get a Good Night Shower and clean restrooms and watching the kids and getting involved 2026

My brother likes to camp at Enon Beach for the 4th of July…read moreI've went for the last 3 years or so. I've read reviews about how loud the Traffic from the nearby highway is, and how loud the and frequent the trains go by. The trains did go by but didn't disturb me nor did the highway traffic. There was a drunken fight but I see that at almost every camping trip. You can't blame the campground for that. I've red the reports of the mean man and the grouchy old woman at the counter. I found the woman at the counter rather pleasant when I talked to her. As far as the mean man I believe the reviews were talking about David. I didn't see him as mean. He treated me well. I did think it would have been nicer if he didn't jack the camping fees up for the 4th. I've read reviews that the Restrooms showers and picnic tables need to be updated. Come on this is camping not glamping. As someone that uses appa to order food I can almost see how useful an app would be to reserve a spot but I know too that apps make mistakes. So maybe not such a good idea. I've read the reviews that the lawn needs mowed. It looked fine to me. Over all not a bad experience. I enjoyed my camping trip with my brother.

It was spotless and actually kind of modern. The kitchen was handy and there was plenty of room for preparation. Our picnic was in 95 degree heat so I have to admit it was pretty hot in there. Portable fans can easily take care of that. The lake is pretty. Not a swimming lake...but nice nonetheless. Overall, we had a great experience!

I remember being dazzled by the waterfalls and entranced by the pine forest.

I'd hoped walk to both waterfalls. But wearing new shoes and saw it was muddy. So just headed back up the stairs to the car. They have bird feeders at the buildings. Nice place to hike. Parking is 10 bucks.

Saturday September 26, 2020…read more We met at Paw Paw parking lot which is at the southern terminus of the Adirondack Trail. If you are looking for the children's playground don't park here, unless you want to hike 1.5 miles on the trail with some hilly traversing (not the best with young kiddos)! You'll want to get right back in your car and head north on Patterson Blvd then find the north parking lot (the name escapes me now). We learned this the hard way. Once we finally got to the playground my brother-in-law and I headed back to Paw Paw to pick up the cars. I personally didn't mind it so much, but the Mummy's were pretty frantic on their phones looking for the playground that they had heard about but didn't know exactly where it was. The kids didn't mind, bumbling along at their own pace. It was a pretty nice day for hiking and enjoying the outdoors of this park which is surrounded by Community Golf course on both sides.

The trails are short and easy to navigate with paved boardwalk as well, this would be a great park for small kids or dog walking. The surrounding area is beautiful, but there is quite a bit of traffic on the road around the park that you need to be aware of. They have a gorgeous and large shelter that would be great for a family event and plenty of shade trees.
