The riverfront and park is beautiful, but people like to leave trash throughout the place! It’s a great park to go fishing or to simply enjoy the fresh air on the walking trails. We volunteer to help pick up garbage in this park. So please do your part to help keep this place nice! Several years ago, residents have dumped car tires, vehicles, and even left a washing machine out there; which has now been rusted out and overtaken by nature. A few homeless people camp out here sometimes, especially in recent months, but as long as you don’t bother them they won’t bother you. More recently we have found quite a few drug paraphernalia on the ground, like used needles or fentanyl test strips. This location has a lot of potential, but it has been left practically unmonitored by park officials in recent months.

3/17 UPDATE: The homeless population has built a few makeshift shelters out of stones, fallen trees and other debris. People have been BBQing out here and leave trash out for others to pick up. I’ve uploaded new photos of the amount of garbage we gathered in just one day. Parts of the trail has been washed out by the flooding, and large muddy areas have made it challenging to walk through. It seems the park officials have been working on improving access to the trails, but the recent flooding has made it very difficult.
