| - This place is big. I'm talking 3k plus acres big. The lake alone is over 60 acres. This park is very popular with the local communities. Some people visit on a very regular basis, almost religiously. There are many walkers, runners, and cyclists whom take advantage of the large 5 mile loop around the lake. The lake is utilized for fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and SUPing (stand up paddle boarding). It is also the backdrop in many selfies.
There are a few bathroom facilities located in the park, some permanent buildings, some portable bathrooms. I always bring snacks, and water when I visit the park, usually contained in a backpack.
There are numerous shelters throughout the park. Some are small, medium, large, and extra large. Some have electricity and/or handicap access. The price rages from 30 to 88 bucks (depending on size and if you are a resident). You can reserve the shelters online, up to a year in advance. Alcohol is allowed in non glass containers, only IF you complete the proper paperwork and pay the $50 fee ($63 for nonresident).
If you're too good for the shelters you can rent a 'facility' as the park calls it. They're pretty much entire buildings or the second floor of the boathouse. These range from free (a particular facility for scouts) or 40 to 313 bucks, plus any special fees that apply.
Ready for outside stuff? There are tennis courts, basketball courts, handball courts, deck hockey courts, baseball and softball fields, bike ramps and obstacles, and hiking trails.
This place is a wonderful place to enjoy the outdoors with a friend, or a hundred friends.
