The park offers a wide variety of activities, including hiking, biking, mountain biking, picnicking, paddle boating, canoeing, archery and freshwater fishing. The park has several playgrounds for kids and plenty of open space to S.L.A.M.
Parking & Meeting Info
When you drive in the main entrance, off of Jefferson Street, take your first right. We meet at the park across from the Ranger Station. You can park near the playground or along the frisbee golf course. We meet in front of the two big pavilions next to the sand volleyball court.
