I love this park but Summer 2023 is riddled with ticks, mosquitos, and a whole lot of poison ivy. Not going back this year.

I’ve been going here for the last 3 years; mosquitos always an issue but this year there is poison ivy everywhere (especially the 5 circle trees by the lily pad pond near horse trailer parking-photo added - zoom in! you can see the poison ivy all the way up the tree all five trees.) Saw it everywhere in the brush too.

And ticks- do not go here without bug repellent everywhere. Ticks are super bad this year. You can avoid mosquitos and enjoy yourself, you can avoid the poison ivy, but the ticks are unavoidable. If you walk the trails or fields, you or your animal will get ticks.
