What a great family friendly park! I spent the bulk of my visit hiking the 6.75 mile Red Trail, which takes you by both Nature Centers, Marina, Go Ape and the Rowing Club. Parking is plentiful and large enough for any size rig or RV. Bathrooms and or portable toilets are located throughout the property. There are ponds, lakes and of course the large reservoir, observation decks, pavilions and playground features. I had 2 bars of Verizon 4G LTE Roaming throughout the property.
