Gaddie GI liked the place—it’s a bit small but very pleasant; it’s always refreshing to visit spots like this. You can tell it’s still under construction, but they’ve done an excellent job. The only unpleasant thing I noticed was a couple of individuals drinking alcohol right in the river, with no one around to tell them not to; that’s the only issue—there’s no one keeping an eye on things now and then to prevent situations like that. Besides that, everything was beautiful. Note:: they don't have Restrooms… Only a portable Toilet…

Cynthia MarekIt's a cute little place. Lovely for what it is. Much smaller and less than I had expected. No hiking trails at all…a 1/4 mile sidewalk. I really like the rock picnic tables and benches.
