Decided to come here today and do a loop trail. I started where the dog park was and did a complete circle and came across the old abandoned oil barge which was truly amazing. Somebody recently told me where it was and of course I got out and went and looked for it there are a lot of dogs that are off leashed her running around. Spirit different trails that you can go off from the main path which will lead you to the oil factory it is truly amazing and if you are into exploring old and banded places I would definitely recommend checking this place out I definitely give it a 5-star rating it's...
