Valley Falls Park — Attraction in Vernon

The park itself is a hidden gem. The issue as always is people show up and ruin it. Most of the time, the park is just fine with the regulars walking their dog, fishing etc. The issue is every once in a while the ghetto rats show up and get loud, obnoxious, smoke weed...let their unsupervised kids swim when the beach is closed and no lifeguard is on etc. Last time I was their with my sons running our hobby grade remote controlled boats.
