点评:This park has lots of potential, especially if you like hiking and exploring. The summer heat is intense, but if we had visited in the fall, it would have been easy to spend several hours just exploring and hiking. Lots of interesting formations because of the flat rocks and natural features. My husband & I would love to come back and truly explore when it’s cooler weather. The disc golf course didn’t look well kept though, neither did the small playground for kids. Hopefully this is something that will be addressed because otherwise those would have been nice features. I realize we may have just come at a bad time, though. There were also lots of picnic tables scattered all around the park, so there’s plenty of room to picnic (though you’ll want to wipe down tables or bring a tablecloth).
There is a creek that runs over the rocks in a type of gradual waterfall, and I read reviews where you could splash and even swim in parts of the creek. A word of caution, though. The rocks are really slippery, and once your feet get wet, they hit the algae growing on the rocks and down you slide. Even the dry rocks are slippery if you touch with wet feet/shoes. There were people swimming in one small section that was deep enough to swim in, but it was crowded, and honestly the water looked more like a deep mud puddle. I didn’t feel comfortable submerging our bodies in there. But under different circumstances I wouldn’t have had as much reservation to do so.
Not a great place to take toddler-aged children or anyone who has trouble walking unassisted unless you just want to stay near the parking area to picnic or walk along the road. You could easily make it to the playground with young kids, but it’s not shaded, so in high summer heat and with the equipment not in the best kept shape, you’d prob want to look elsewhere for that.
But to hike and explore and picnic (there’s even a bike trail), this park really is a gem.
翻译:这个公园有很大的潜力,特别是如果您喜欢徒步旅行和探索的话。夏季炎热,但如果我们是在秋天来的,很容易花几个小时探索和徒步旅行。由于平坦的岩石和自然特征,有许多有趣的地层。我和我丈夫很乐意在天气凉爽时回来真正探索。不过,圆盘高尔夫球场看起来维护得不太好,儿童小游乐场也没有维护得很好。希望这个问题能够得到解决,否则这些功能会很不错。不过,我意识到我们可能来得不是时候。公园周围还散布着许多野餐桌,因此有足够的空间可以野餐(尽管您需要擦桌子或带桌布)。
有一条小溪以渐进式瀑布的形式流过岩石,我读过一些评论,在那里你可以在小溪的某些地方戏水,甚至游泳。不过,请注意。岩石真的很滑,一旦你的脚沾湿了,它们就会碰到岩石上生长的藻类,然后你就会滑下去。如果你用湿脚/鞋子接触,即使是干燥的岩石也会很滑。一小片区域有人在游泳,水深可以游泳,但很拥挤,说实话,水看起来更像是一个很深的泥坑。将我们的身体浸入其中我感到不舒服。但在不同的情况下,我不会有那么多保留这样做。
除非您只是想住在停车场附近野餐或沿路散步,否则对于幼儿或任何无法在无人帮助的情况下行走的人来说,这不是一个好地方。你可以很容易地带着年幼的孩子去游乐场,但它没有遮荫,所以在炎热的夏季,而且设备状态不佳,你可能会想到别处去寻找。
但对于徒步旅行、探索和野餐(甚至还有一条自行车道)来说,这个公园确实是一颗宝石。
