Definitely a beautiful area to explore there is a parking area for this once you park if you bang a right that will take you to the abandoned resort looking houses which are all boarded up and there is a very cool look to it. You will also find an old abandoned tennis court and a couple other courts in the back also a road that is no longer used that will bring you down to Salmon River I did a complete loop from the alltrails app and saw lots of dogs here which were awfully which I thought was nice. There is also a slight view of the vista. You also find a grill in outhouse and some picnic benches in this area as well.

This is a nice area to dog walk or talk a hike. The path is mostly level and portions wind through the now defunct Sunrise Resort - Frank Davis Resort. In their era these parks were considered top tourist destinations. During the late 1980's tourism wound down and subsequently the state purchased the open space. After a few years of disrepair the state demolished all but the most historic buildings.

Such a beautiful place and visit. I was able to refrence some history, to find out it was a resort years ago. Now, known as a state park, some of the houses still remain, but I can see the happiness that was there at one time. Many places to walk and enjoy nature. If you're looking for a nice destination to take in some nature and history, this place is worth it. Pack a nice lunch.

A nice place to walk the dog. This is the site of a former summer resort. The existing structures have largely been torn down. The state owns this property now and it is primarily a place where people walk their dogs. In the summer there is some kayaking which takes place along the Salmon River.
