Old cranberry bog, Amazing scenery beautiful woodsy private. There is multiple trails and it is very large so you rarely run into a lot of people and can be great if your looking for privacy. Great for dogs they absolutely love it. PARKING is great there’s 2 parking lots that lead right into trails with multiple entrances. Road in can be bad with potholes sometimes.

The reason I gave only four stars is because there are trails which are no longer part of the park, however, they are connected. The parks trails lead into trails where I had to get out of the way for about 15 people on ATVs. I walked about a quarter mile before I realized I was off park property. Other than that, I enjoyed the history and how well the park...
