Very beautiful, stopped by durring winter after it snowed a lot. Even without snow it is very nice to go for a walk or see the history and buildings.
Nice place to go hiking! They have a few different trails to choose from and a bunch of lakes to enjoy off the trail. I even discovered a small cemetery off one of the trails! Lots of turtles here as well! Pretty quiet place to go on a Sunday afternoon.
This is truly a wonderful park to visit. 🌲✨️ It has a little bit of everything: history; you can visit the cranberry sorting & packing house, the double trouble sawmill, etc. Several hiking and biking trails and resting benches are along the way 🚵♀️⛰️🚶♂️. It's also great for dog walking as well! There is also the cedar creek trail; if you have a kayak, you might even enjoy it a bit more! 🛶 overall, we had a great time; just a backpack with some snacks 🎒 and bottles of water, and that was it! It is also a great place to just relax and disconnect, read a book, and enjoy the nature or a nice chat ☮️. Recommended ✅️
Not only a great place for easy hiking with options for tails (no hills), there's a lake for canoeing. Dog friendly.
Bonus: if you're into history, this is the backdrop of cranberry pickers. You can go to the information building (always closed when I've been) but outside they have brochures on the history and another brochure for the trails.
Downside on buildings is that you cannot go in and (for me), I wish they would restore the buildings to reflect how they were used historically; still great to look at.
What a beautiful day at a local gem of a park! Love all the trail options here, only downfall is those not cleaning up their pet feces to include horses...no one likes tiptoeing around that but otherwise great place for nature enthusiasts and artists (i.e. photography and otherwise).
