Our experience with this park was a bit mixed. Our family rented a pavilion in the Militia Hill area of the park for a family reunion. The pavilion was nice and spacious with large grills that allowed for cooking up plenty of BBQ. When we arrived, a nice man from the park office came by and informed us of all the rules for using the pavilion, including that we needed to depart by sunset. He even told us what time sunset would be that day. There's plenty of space around the pavilions to set up corn hole, badminton or just about any lawn game. The restrooms are close by and are well-kept and clean. There wasn't a whole lot of parking near our pavilion but there was plenty for the number of guests that we had. The down side to our visit came about 45 minutes before we had to leave for the day. That's when, without any warning, a park ranger drove his truck over to the restrooms and locked them all up and then drove off. He didn't have the courtesy to come over to warn us that he was going to close them. Our group had elderly family members, including some that had over a 90 minute drive to get home. Then, about 30 minutes later when we were very visibly packing up our cars to leave, the ranger parked his truck across the road and up the hill a little and got on his loudspeaker hollering about how the park gates were going to be closing soon. It was a rather rude ending to an otherwise enjoyable day.

Our first visit to this park was on one of the hottest summer days. Even first thing in the morning the humidity was brutal. We parked in one of the first main lots so we plan to return to explore other trails as there is a lot to see. The area we hiked was mostly grass trails and was fairly easy. Perfect for beginners or or if you’re out for a more casual walk. There are plenty of walking paths to enjoy. We claimed the many steps to the lookout. The views are very pretty, you can see fairly far out over the park. I was able to see other areas that we plan to check out when we return. We walked past a playground picnic areas and everyone seemed to be having fun despite the heat. If you have small children I recommend a visit. I look forward to returning in the fall!

The bird observation platform is my favorite part. Nice scenic trail by the creek. Not too crowed and dog friendly. Plenty of benches and out coves to take a break. Excellent restroom facilities. There are bulletin broads with maps and information. Even a water fountain (hydration station). Friendly and knowledgeable staff too.

This has been on my bucket list for years. This did not disappoint. Jane Austin once said.....“To sit in the shade on a fine day, and look upon verdure, is the most perfect refreshment.” I would suggest as a tip to use the bathrooms near parking lot 3 and 4 and then drive up to parking lot 5. Parking was not busy by 1 pm at all which I was surprised about. The best parking lot is 5. It is next to the observation deck. You can a great view of all the hawks and cool animals. Once you are done, I would go down the hill to then get access to about 10 miles of varied trails and woods. Green Ribbon Trail is also an access point of great vision that I cannot begin to tell you. I felt like my attention span could stand all the hills and valleys. This was so clean. The water was nice. I would suggest getting there early during the heat and just exploring for the whole day. I feel like I had to stop because it was getting dark. But this made 2023 chefs kiss.
