Oh my. What a gem. Don't let the incline scare you. There's trails all over that lead easily to the other side to the water. To the right, near the houses, is a gravel path that's really easy. The picnic area is huge and the wind gets blocked by trees and hills. It really is a fantastic spot to explore. Trails go into trees! Shower and bathrooms were nice. The only downfalls were no park officers on duty and people leave so much trash.
