It was peaceful and pretty. We should have read the bulletin board. We didn't realize that there was a fee for the day until we came back to the car and found a notice on the windshield 😑. It is only $10.00 tho and you either write a check or put it in the envelope provided. There is a box Dropbox to put it in. We live 5 miles away and didn't know.
This place has two sides to it one trail leads you down to the bridge the other leads you down a path to the creek. Beautiful area to wander around.
DON'T FORGET TO BUY YOUR DAY PASS!! You have to purchase your day pass at the machine which is located right before Shoofly Ruins. But it's a nice calm spot next to the creek. No hiking required. Great place to bring toddlers, and maybe enjoy a picnic in the shade. FYI - There IS a bathroom here.
