This is an amazing park to bring your family members. We have brought our boxer here twice and she LOVED IT. Both times there were several doge there and they all had a wonderful time together. The park is enormous with plenty of area to run with the pack and play in the lake.
Bring your dogs here they will love it!

Great park for running/​walking/​biking. Trail around the lake is almost exactly 5k/3.1 miles. Popular park with walkers and I almost always see at least a couple people fishing on the lake. The associated campground is nice, if a bit sparse. There are also multiple picnic shelters and a playground near the 96th street entrance/​parking lot.

Great for walking dog on horse trails or running a little. I usually take my dogs here and there’s a large fenced in dog free run acreage that runs up to a pond on one side with three gates on the other to keep Fito in. If your dogs aren’t dog friendly or you want to get out go to the horse trails toward the back of the dirt road and walk them. There wonderful for hunting dogs to get out and chase birds and critters and frolic through the grass. Can be muddy so plan ahead. Good spot for campers but the campsites aren’t ideal for tent camping in my opinion. Fishings ok there’s a big dock and boat entry too.

Wonderful area for taking a long-​ish walk on a nice day. Fairly quiet even though it is right next to hwy 370. There are a few hills, but nothing too terrible. The path is a 5k and the distances are marked along the way. Restroom facilities are kind of scary, but that is standard for a recreation area.

Great park that offers it all! Enormous trail to walk/​run/​bike. Lake that’s large enough for small fishing boats and canoes. Horses allowed. Camping and picnic areas. Fabulous off leash dog park with water for the dogs to play in… and a hose to clean them up after.
My only complaint is its pack in/out…so don’t count on finding a trash can anywhere.

I have been there with my husband for a walk before. We liked the path that we took that’s around the lake. There’s no hills so it’s a nice place for beginners who just started to work out regularly and those who go to the park for a walk. The only thing I wasn’t happy about was that you could see houses at some places in the park that made me feel like there’s «reality“‘right there when I wanted to put myself into a world of mother nature as long as I was in the park.

This park is WONDERFUL for your swimmer dogs! Our dogs loves this place! The off leash area has a trail that you can walk around in and pretty decent size pond with shallow and deeper areas. If you have a swimmer, we have a lab, they won’t get too muddy but if you have a dog that doesn’t like to get all the way in, my min pin, things can get a lil muddy. There is a water faucet over to the far right of parking by the park benches to rise your pups off. Be sure to bring a little bucket to use and of course a towel! Also, there are bags provided for the poop but haven’t seen a garbage yet. All in all great place for the summer!

Great area! Wonderful scenery. They nailed it on the head with the walking trails circling the lake. Realized halfway through that it was a 3 mile loop — so we were stuck with doing some serious walking. We haven’t tried the off-​leash area yet for dogs, but we’re excited to get out there this summer to have our dog swim. Hopefully it won’t be a mud pit like some people are saying.
