Really great place. Was a little disappointed that the main building wasn’t open, but that was totally on me. I didn’t check ahead for hours or anything or how that all works. Besides that, went on a little hike, there’s trails with markers and information. There was a restroom that was open, full of spiders but what do you expect in the woods. There was a big open shelter with picnic tables. The spot where the stone was found has some nice reads. Place was well kept, didn’t see any litter, would definitely go back with more...

Editing to add: I've now enjoyed the park throughout the seasons! PERFECT place for sledding with the new bathroom and interpretation center!

Small playground for the kids, lots of beautiful hiking trails, picnic tables, and a new interpretative center with a mini museum! Check for geocahes and enjoy some beautiful local history at any time of year. The new visitors center has nice modern restrooms and a water bottle filling station as well. And all for free! Definitely...
