Amerson has become my favorite place to escape to. I love this park so much, I've even volunteered to keep it clean. I've found so many interesting side trails to the river banks. My dogs and I have a lot of joy and fun here. Having a place to exercise at and enjoy nature has had a great impact on my mental clarity. P.s. Let's end the plate smashing trend where you write your issues on it and smash it. You're not actually getting rid of your problems; you're not profound🙃, you're just littering. Sharp pieces left where people walk their dogs around is a recipe for disaster. Clean up after yourselves so I don't have to or so someone's dog doesn't cut their paws on it 😒

hidden gem of a park, it's a beautiful place to visit for anyone. I love nature and being outdoors so I am deeply moved by my experience today. spent all day out there with my little ones. there are playgrounds, lots of open field space, lots of trees, walking paths, the river in which you can enjoy a boat ride if you have a boat, and you can ride your bike here and even roller blade. I wonder if skateboarding is permitted, not sure. would love to visit this place with my life partner, whoever they may be. there are bathrooms by the playgrounds and they are clean and do not smell, at least when I went.

Very family friendly, pet friendly and just fun! We went tubing down the river, it was so fun! We got out and played and just had the best time ever. It only took 2 hours to float! It definitely is worth while to take 2 vehicles. One at the starting point and park one where you pull the raft out. If not you have to trek a mile or so back to your car. Definitely do-able but I wouldn't recommend it, it just sucks having to drag your raft. The playground on the weekend is so overloaded but the walking paths are peaceful! Restrooms are what you would expect at a park. Overlooks are so nice and pretty.

Went during the afternoon on a Monday, few people here, plenty of parking. Hung out for lunch at the pavilion looking structure with the canvas top that is by the river. Nice place to have lunch. Flew the drone a bit, talked with some friendly people. Nice overlook of the river, very scenic. Drove around to a part with a dirt road and got to see the boat ramp into the river and an area that looks like a small swamp. Pretty place over all, looks like it has a big trail system, and i believe a trail going to Macon 4 miles down river.

Beautiful park with many options to explore and spend an afternoon. We visited the playground, which has shade and restrooms available. Large gather area near the playground and plenty of seating for parents to watch and have conversation. Restrooms are clean with running water. Water fountain was not operational. Trails are well marked and other postings suggest there is an area for exercise and an area to explore the river while tubing. Walking trails looks all ability and well kept.
