The scenery was amazing and all that lowkey chill place. But vro. I ventured into this so-called "natural park" expecting a serene escape. Instead, I found myself in a wilderness devoid of civilization's greatest gift: fast food. The nearest McDonald's was a 15-minute drive away. No drive-thru? Not even a kiosk? Just me, a trail, and the haunting sound of my stomach growling. Reddit Reddit +2 Reddit +2 IMDb +2 The park boasts "wildlife," but I was more interested in Wi-Fi and a quick snack. No cell service, no Wi-Fi, and certainly no fries. National Park Obsessed +3 Review Antics +3 Tripadvisor +3 Reddit +3 National Park Obsessed +3 Review Antics +3 I had to "hike" to find a vending machine. It dispensed granola bars—what is this, the 1800s? I came for a picnic, but all I had was a sad sandwich and a dream of a drive-thru. If you're into nature, this place might be for you. But if you're like me and believe that a park without fast food is just a glorified backyard, steer clear. Let me know if you'd like a version tailored to a specific park or with a different tone!

Gorgeous park and lovely walkways through the nature. Seems as though they are attempting to let it grow up and develop. Hopefully will be much more beautiful in a few years! Great place for a picnic.
