Really nice place to hike around. Quiet and varied surfaces. Very pretty lake area with blooming lily pads and floating bridges. Great trail for dogs. Safe and cool in the summer. Easy parking. Eager for visitor center to reopen.

Beautiful area to hike and can bring dogs and kids. Water area, gorgeous wildlife and much needed respite from busy traffic area. Well worth a visit. My friend said, "How did I not know about this place before now??" It is so fun to go.
