I love that places like these that are preserved for their history and provided (without cost) for the public to explore and enjoy! A big thank-you, given to all those for whom has given of their time to allow others, such as myself, to find solace and peace among these pathways of wildflowers, trees, and the natural nature preserve that is underway! I very much appreciate you!

Love walking my dogs here. It's usually quiet. I only wish more people would heed the posted rules about dogs needing to be on leash. One of my dogs does not enjoy being approached by unknown dogs. I really enjoy this park aside from seeing 1-5 off leash dogs each time we go when it's nice out. The off-leash dog park is up the road.

Great place for hiking and walking the dog. There is an off-leash dog area that is a blast for everyone and an extensive network of paths that will keep you moving for a whole afternoon or more if you choose to explore the area. Some paths have steep inclines, so come prepared with proper footwear and expect a workout if you hike.

I love this spot! Cool, historic, long trails that lead to the water. There is’s not a great place to park besides along the road. There’s plenty of variety of terrain here too.

Beautiful winding trails, clean beach, well maintained. Some trails are steep, and most as far as I’m aware are un pathed, but for those who enjoy that, this park is perfect.
