Beautiful and peaceful place to sit back and relax listening to the calming sounds of cars and trucks and their resolute drivers. Here you can truly enjoy the soothing sounds of rushing water trying to get away from somewhere as if it has committed a crime while at the same time familiarizing yourself and your family with the intriguing aromas of petrichor and the smell created by recreationally burning small amounts of lawn or pasture plants by someone seeking relaxation of a different kind. There are remnants and ruins of a bygone time littered throughout the park. A better time, perhaps for some and not others. But how great a time can be is a matter of perspective, as John Trusler once said, “there’s no [better] time like the present.” Visiting the park sooner than later proves delightfully pleasant, knowing that plants will grow and the land reclaim and built structures will steadily crumble as future generations leave historic places neglected. Enjoy a picnic or watching the slowly passing shadows of clouds under a tree, quietly reminiscing of loves that could have been and loves that could be before wondering where you’ve been for the last two hours and why your kakis are stained and wet. Explain that to your wife, but keep the other stuff to yourself.

This is a very sweet little park that seems to be well used by the locals. We stayed at the KOA across the street for a week, and every time we drove by, there were at least a few cars parked there. It's a two-century-old mill and bridge that now has an added herring ladder. You can see the ruins of the mill, the swans on the pond, and egrets in the marsh area. There's a small waterfall created from the mill. For such a small and local park, there's a lot to see. It rather reminds me of England.

Beautiful trails, very well maintained. Has picnic tables to bring a meal or just sit and enjoy the scenery. I love all the waterways that crisscross the space. The ruins being preserved/restored are such an interesting testament to using the resources you have and then standing the test of time. Fantastic little spot to just pull off the side of the road.

Beautiful place to stop and take a walk. Scenic and serene. Enjoyed stretching my legs after a long drive. Families had lunch on blankets in the soft grass. Plenty of history about the fish in the area and the ladder. Loved the old structure ruins and how it takes you back to the days each stone was laid by hand. Definate gem right off the highway.

Oliver Mill Park is a great place to walk around, take pictures, and just enjoy the sounds of the water. My daughter loves walking over the little Bridges. It's a great place for people who love photography. There's also multiple area's that make a beautiful background for a family photo.
