Very nice and well kept park. There are miles of walking and biking trails. There is a waterfall that attracts salmon fisherman thru out the year but especially in late October as the fish migrate upstream from Lake Michigan. There is a recently installed fish ladder that helps the fish make it past the waterfall. This is the first season with it being open so it should be interesting to see how it works.

Nice area and the play area is nice. There are ample spots for peaceful fishing. The water is beautiful and there are small trails in the forest area. There are no public restrooms and the portapotty is really not kid friendly so we have to rush home for the bathroom or bring a kiddy potty with us. There was a small gathering at the Pavillion and bathrooms were opened and parents mentioned it was disgusting.

On Saturday I visited this park and this was my second time here, as I had visited it once last autumn. I had a grand time and found it actually very, very relaxing and then I slept very well that night. I pretty much explored the entire park and kept walking about to see everything. Still as I said I found it very refreshing even though I wasn't sitting as most people do. I loved the hiking trails. Some of the trails go through a wooded area and there is a little bridge you can pass over and there's a stream under it. This area is also along the river and you can see some great views! Its very spectacular if you love nature. Lots of tall towering trees too. The trees looked old and stately. The one bridge that leads from the parkhouse to the nature trail was closed but you can still get onto the trail by going around to the left - very easy! There are also trails that lead down to the river area too so lots of hiking opportunities in this park but the trails are all kind of level and easy. Still I had great fun exploring this area - except if you are going down to the river - that bit is steep. I also recall last autumn coming across a swing hanging from a tree somewhere in the hiking area - it was a very pleasant surprise and totally unexpected! I didn't see it yesterday but I am sure its there somewhere. There is another hiking trail on the other side of the main road that runs through the park and it curves around a large field and ends near the sledding hill & archery course. Yes this park has an archery course! I actually saw people using it too! That's what those huge things in the field are - the targets. Lots of picnic areas, baseball diamonds, soccer fields, kiddie play areas and all sorts of stuff. This is a really huge park! And part of it even extends past the waterfall to the south, on the other side of that old train bridge. There's another big grassy field there. And the waterfall is stunning! Its not too tall but its very wide and has a curving shape. While I was there I actually saw a huge dark colored fish try to jump up the waterfall! That was the last thing I had expected to see. Oh and I also spotted a small neat painted rock along the hiking trail. See if you can see it too when you visit! The parkhouse was closed during my visit. There is a portable bathroom right by it. You know the sort. And there is a fantastic view from the top of the sledding hill too. In fact this was my favorite place in the whole park. There is also a Little Free Library located in this park and its currently packed full of books. Would be a great place to sit and read. I certainly plan on visiting this park more!

Definitely enjoyed a morning here! Good mix of paved and unpaved trails to walk/explore. Connected to Oak Leaf for walking/biking, close enough to the city to be a simple, part of the day, trip. Busy, but not overwhelmingly so, on the weekend. Looking forward to heading back at some point to find out more! Worth a stop if its in your area!
