Fun Park
Dirt trails and paved trails. Dogs are. Or allowed in the visitor center, but leashed dogs welcome everywhere else.

All around great
Been looking for a place to bring doggo on an adventure without blowing my wallet and this was just the ticket. Staff was friendly and helpful. Had no problem with our pooch in a rental kayak and recommeded certain trails to hike after. Of course leash laws still exist and she wasnt allowed inside the visiter center to rent said kayak which makes sense with the taxidermy by the door. Plenty of picnic tables to eat at. Indoor bathroom for visiters and one at the rest stop if your pooch cant leave your side. Only complant were mosqitos on said trails which were expected but none on the water oddly enough. Rentals were 5 dollars a kayak.
