This park is completely beautiful. Amazing views and trails. I especially liked that some trails led to hidden beaches. Trails are a difficult beginner level, requires some decent shoes. Water is crystal blue.

The reason I gave it 3 stars is for 2 reasons. First, I read online they charge by car. When we got there they told us it was per person and did not provide a receipt or a map. And overall were a bit rude when I asked. Second, there was a lot of trash on the trails. I realize they can't control visitors but I was surprised by how much trash there was, made me feel disappointed.

France Park is a great place to explore and hike! We had never been here before and were pleasantly surprised with how calm and un-crowded it was on a summer morning. The sights were breathtaking including the water filled quarry and the waterfall as well. The trails are fantastic as well, with our only gripe being that the trail markings are poor - in fact, trail markings are non-existent. Be prepared to check the map on your phone often if you find yourself confused about where to head next!

Very beautiful. Loved taking my little family here to enjoy the views! I would love if it got cleaned up just a little bit more but the real problem is people's lack of accountability for their actions.. anyways, definitely recommend going here! 😊
