Lovely park, lots of walking paths and water access if you’re looking to cool off. At the time of my visit it did look like the city was working on some improvements to paths. Do wish the public wouldn’t leave their garbage around when visiting.

Great historic park with wonderful tours, field trips, and public programming. Wonderful place to walk your dog and enjoy the outdoors and natural trails. Make sure you pop by when the historic buildings are open to take a look inside!

Basically an interesting place for a dog walk. Because it’s a historic site, there is some information on the Internet about what the community was like there in the 1800s. What’s interesting about this place is that there’s buildings to explore a waterfall, bridges and a river. The trails, however are a bit technical which means they’re a little hard to manage. There’s many hills and roots. I can see on a nice summer day, it might get crowded, but we were there in January and there was no one else there, walking. There were people sitting in their cars in the parking lot however, The museums might be interesting to explore on a weekend when they’re open. But otherwise there are interesting things to explore here. There are signs about the area, see photos. And Port-o-Johns.The trail markings are difficult to follow, don’t bother trying just enjoy the river and the waterfall. Read up about the history of the place.

It was pretty cool. I was trying to do the Eagle Trail, which is on the other side of the eno, and the signage was not helpful at all. I ended up going back to my car and driving to the north lot, which was also poorly marked when i started hiking. It was a pretty walk, though.
