My whole family loves going here! We enjoy fishing either in the bay or on the lake, swimming as well. Perfect place for a picnic, bike riding, catching some rays, going on a boat tour, checking out the light houses etc. We are always seeing alot of different wildlife too. Thankful that the speed is posted with them in mind. A few weeks ago, the person in the lane next to us was going a little faster than he should've been & we almost watched a whole turkey family get wiped out. We were surprised & let out a huge sigh of relief, including the driver, when the babies & mama were able to finish crossing the road!! (If the turkeys were half a second slower, it would've been a terrible outcome!) Restrooms are located at different areas through the park along with areas to shower. I know there's a playground located by the ponds & also a nice newer one located at beach 11. There's a few different walking trails that go through the woods, so it's always a good idea to dress properly & use bug spray that works on ticks. I believe there's signs that say some areas are highly populated tick areas. Always a good idea to check yourselves when you get home to make sure there's none on you. Dog friendly as long as your dog is leashed & you clean up after it. ATTN: PARK RANGERS! Please educate your rangers/workers on the monarch butterfly! I had a ranger lecturing me about helping monarch caterpillars, saying they've done just fine by themselves for thousands & thousands of years, they don't need our help & people need to not get involved, that mother nature will take care of it. I was honestly shocked at what I was hearing! I badly wanted to say even my 10 year old knows that the monarch isn't doing fine, not when it's so close to being put on the endangered species list!
