Beautiful park. There are several pavilions with well maintained restrooms, a nice dock out over the lake, a three-story observation tower, hiking trails, bike paths, camping. And the trees are phenomenal. Gorgeous views and lots of shade.
One of the nicest hideaways in the county. Don't skip a visit to one or the sweetest and quietest parks we have.
Awesome little park. Great observation tower. In the summer with the lilly pads you cannot even see the lake.
This wilderness park is one of my favorites to visit. There is a newly built 3 level tier like balcony for site seeing and a fishing dock near to it. There is a cool amphitheater located in the forest trail. Camping sites are available. This park is well maintained. Picnic pavilions & restrooms are clean, also the playground equipment are fairly new.
I’ve also discovered while walking along the trail miniature TRAINS! The Central Pasco & Gulf Railroad CPGRR. *Privately owned although located in the park. Every second Saturday 10-2pm a one dollar donation per person gets you a ride through the forest with other cool discoveries at the train yard. Along with Carolwood Barn a mini museum! Which made this park even more awesome!
