This is the oldest city park in Walla Walla, but don't mistake that for being boring. There is so…read moremuch to do here. There are trails, ponds, and a lot of old-growth trees to relax under. I focused on the aviary. The largest enclosure has white peacocks, doves, ducks, and geese (I'm sure I missed some other birds) all together so you can see how they interact with each other. There are also smaller enclosures with other types of birds too. Some of them are enclosed with a bunch of doves, although I'm not sure if that was intentional or if they are free loaders. I could watch the birds for hours. In the building adjacent to the largest bird enclosure are smaller pens with birds that I'm assuming are being rehabilitated, although I also saw a cat with a collar in with the quails. I hope that the cat doesn't cause chaos...

One of my favorite stretches is adjacent to this park. I usually park at the bridge downriver from the park and then wade upriver into the park. Most trout are small, but in some *secret* holes, you can find "hogs". The actual park affords camping, a little hiking, and nice scenery. I've taken my dogs on its trails a few times. Beware though---in late spring/early summer the ticks are in full effect. EEeeeeEEEeeeEE! Just thinkin' of 'em makes me squirm!

This review is only for the camping section of the park. We didn't venture into the day use…read moresection, which was across Route 12. The camping section was adequate - everything you need from a campground. Our site was somewhat level, had a picnic bench and a firepit. When we arrived, the picnic table was filthy, covered in cheese, bread crumbs, and other assorted things. We had to clean the area up before we could proceed with setting up our campsite. That was a bit of a bummer. I get the sensation that there is little oversight of this campground. Our site didn't provide much in the way of privacy, and on a summer weekend when the campground is filled to capacity, you are at the mercy of other campers. Unfortunately for us, the other campers on this weekend were just awful, completely unaware that there were other people who wished a more peaceful environment. There were many large groups on the campsites, and some were much louder than others. We had the distinct pleasure of listening to a 12-year-old boy scream at the top of his vocal capacity that he "likes big butts and cannot lie" for about an hour - after he and his friend had spent the hour previous yelling undistinguishable words and sounds. They were actually less distracting than the large party that went until well after 2am. I thought there were live-in managers, but I never saw a sign of their presence. The bathhouse was acceptable, although I wouldn't call it clean. The women's room ran out of toilet paper by Saturday evening, but it was replenished by 6am Sunday morning. The men's room apparently had no issues with supplies. There are also coin-operated showers, but I did not try to use them. As a final note, the park sits in a little cluster of trees with rolling hills all around. Despite the photos, it is not buried deep in the woods the way a Western Washington campground might be. That is a positive or negative, depending on who you are. However, one problem with the location is that there is some sort of air strip nearby because the same small plane began taking off around 7am Sunday morning and would repeat take offs every 45 minutes or so. That was a bit of a rude awakening for a quiet Sunday morning.

The roads are terrible, especially the gravel road leading up to the park. We did not have the Discover Pass so it was a $10 day use fee. There were clean restrooms and a few shaded picnic spots but no cell service. It was too hot to do any real hiking, as the only shade is near the parking lot by the tables, but we did walk to a few different viewpoints. I actually found the rock formations above the falls to be as lovely or perhaps lovloer than the falls. It was a bit underwhelming to me for the amount of effort needed to visit but, but one girl's "meh" is another girl's "wow" so I hope the photos and information are helpful to anyone trying to decide whether to make the voyage.

Great St. Joe River guides! Worth every penny…read more Easy reservation and instructions pre-trip. Our guides, Tyler and Patrick, were awesome. They did a great job and teaching us to fly fish from their small boats that put you on the fish. They know all of the spots and go back and forth in these areas to make sure you land fish. All the while, untying our knots and helping to get us unstuck from rocks and logs. Nice, chicken salad lunch along a nice shoreline with lots of beverages throughout the day, with various beers to make the experience that much better. Planning on returning and wouldn't use anyone else.

This hike happened by happenstance…read more A friend and I were supposed to go up to Horseshoe Prairie (http://www.yelp.com/biz/horseshoe-prairie-nordic-ski-area-pendleton) for snowshoeing, but unfortunately, I let my friend drive and he was a little too confident about his car's snowy-road-handling ability. After spinning tires a time or two, we canned our fun-in-the-snow plans, turned around, and slid down the hill to civilization. While picking up chocolates at Petite Noirs (http://www.yelp.com/biz/petits-noirs-milton-freewater), the owner mentioned a nearby hike. To not make the day a total loss, we were all ears, and went for it. Just off of main street in Milton Freewater, you take the turn off for Harris Park (as you're driving south out of town, it'll be the left BEFORE you take the hill up and out of town). You then drive about 10 miles up a canyon carved by the South Fork of the Walla Walla River. This canyon is part of the Blue Mountains, and it's amazing to see how quickly the landscape changes from the drabby flatness of Milton-Freewater to the alpine-y beauty of the Blues & Walla Walla river. Once you're in the area of the park, keep going until you approach the trailhead for the South Fork Walla Walla River trail. Here there are quite a few parking spots, a couple of restrooms and river bubbles within earshot. You are clearly outside of civilization and within an honest to goodness country landscape. The deep valley is beautiful and the trail looks inviting. For the most part the trail parallels the river. Sometimes it sidetracks and goes up the side of the valley wall, but the river is always within view. The trail is well-kept and nice (other than a few boggy/muddy spots). We went for about 2.5 miles on the trail before calling it a day. We enjoyed sightings of elk at one spot (we later saw herds of deer, turkey, and even a scooting coyote during our dusk drive out). I'm so glad I made it here. I can definitely see myself coming back to dip myself within the magic waters (à la Field of Dreams) and fly fishing the stream (à la A River Runs Through It). I've also heard that you can ride your mountain bike here too---I'd also be down for that! South Fork of the Walla Walla Trail. I will see you again---very, very soon.

Our online reservation was not honored…read more We booked for a premium spot during labor day. Upon reaching the check in the lady, Karen, said they are giving us a premium spot as we paid and reserved online. However when we reached we had been given a rv spot. When we went back and said that you guys deceived us they said premium means water + electric. We also saw that at the same time a family was given our spot as they came to our reserved spot and started camping. What happened they gave our spot to another family who were probably their friends. We also asked around and regulars their told us that there are only two premium spots. When we reserved online the pictures in the post clearly showed it was under the tree shade but we were offered the spot next to rv under the sun The manager here is even ruder than Karen at the check in as she was called and tried to make us believe that we were given premium spot. We took another spot and had to move our stuff. We even left one day early. In short booking online through KOA was not honored here and we felt scammed/cheated here
