Very nice walking path. At one point there are some stairs and they are a little steep (like a foot high), but other than that it was nice. There are a few random benches along the way so you can sit back and enjoy the view. At the entrance there are a ton of picnic travels and grill to use. A couple small play areas (mainly for younger kids). And a nice little marked off swimming area with life guards. There is a fee to come in, but I'm not really sure how it works because we were coming in as the gate attendant was leaving and she told us not to worry about it.

I have an old video posted. The lake back then was cleaner and the rope was further out giving us more swim space. My recent visit: the water was very orange, less space to swim. The grounds were gorgeous though. Plenty of shade, nice hiking trails, clean bathroom and breakroom, love that they have outside showers, a playground, plenty of grills, and picnic tables spaced out for privacy. I'm hoping when I go back this summer the water is cleaner.

A great little park. In season there is a fee at this park but it is open year round. A visitor center with restrooms is usually open during hours all year. Dunn pond has some wonderful hiking trails through the woods and around the pond accessible year-round. When in season there is swimming, picnicking with BBQ pits at many of the tables. And from my understanding you can bring your kayak or canoe to paddle around this small but wonderful pond.

A nicely maintained park with an expansive set of trails that loop through the nearby forest and around the lake. On these trails there are several spots to sit and read, picnic, or just hang out. Also several small dock areas for people who like to fish. Swimming is allowed during the official season. There have been some issues with seasonal hazardous algae blooms, so just be sure to check their website for updates before visiting.

Dunn Park has so much to offer! A decent-sized beach area with swimming. Many picnic tables surrounding the beach area and throughout the woods as well as a pavilion area. They have a toddler size playground and a bigger kids playground and trails for walking- one large one that loops around the lake and a shorter loop that is mainly used for dog walking. In the winter they even have a free ice rink under the pavilion area.
