This was really great. Plenty of parking, and clean bathrooms. The trails are really well maintained. We did the trail to the beach which was really nice and peaceful but there were a lot of mosquitoes. So bug spray is a good idea but once you get on the beach, mosquitoes don't bother you. We went for a swim (good idea to have water shoes of some sort as it's pretty rocky). Really great place to hang out for a couple hours!
Absolutely breathtaking! We took our family on a hike through the nature preserve, and the moment we reached the gorge, it completely took our breath away. The trail was full of natural beauty—twisted roots, fallen trees, and scenes that felt like living artwork. It’s a perfect family-friendly hike that inspires awe and appreciation for the raw beauty of nature. Just be prepared for some roots along the path—it’s all part of the authentic experience in a place this wild and wonderful. Highly recommended!
Beautiful location. Was recommended to us as a place to stop and we were not disappointed. Well kept walkways, easy to follow signage, and spectacular views.
