Hidden gem This is…read morethe coolest park for pictures in the area. A great little hike down and you are at the river. The large rocks are perfect for taking pictures. There is a picnic area and some bathrooms but the bathrooms are very old. I remember coming to this park as a kid and being my kids as well.

I'm from the east side, and for years I've driven over the bridges telling myself, "One day I'm…read moregoing to stop and wander through that park." I'm so happy I finally did. Now I already know I'll be back, because we only explored part of it -- but what my sister, her pup, and I wandered through was fun, peaceful, and a little adventurous. At one point there was literally a giant mallard just standing in the middle of the woods like he owned the place. And then there were stairs that climb straight up the side of the mountain -- okay, hill -- but it felt like a mountain in the best way. The whole walk made me feel free. If you ever find yourself wanting a moment outside, a breath of fresh air, or just a place to wander, stop here. It's worth it.

The park has plenty of parking, depending on what area you would like to explore. There is a golf course and multiple areas for fishing. You can also take your kayak and kayak the emerald necklace.

They also have one of the best varieties of dead baits though I myself do not care for using them due to not having much luck. Their hard bait selection is a bit lackluster but they have a very small space to work with and the location does not lend itself very well to hard baits unless one is going on a boat. Great little store though and am very pleased with the service and products I purchase every time I go.

Has many stairs that you have to carefully use to get to the beach. It often is very slippery. The waves make things wet. It isn't much of a beach. This is pretty rocky. Swimming is allowed. The water is very dangerous looking. It's not a place for amateurs. This also isn't just a dog park. It's okay for people to hang out at. They have a few tables at the entrance before stairs. It can be hard to get here. Parking lot is across the street. The park is like someone's back yard and there's many locals who seem to like to be here whenever.

A paved walking path, big parking lots available and little ones along the path, clean restroom facilities, a large concession stand offering snacks and honey hut ice cream! There were plenty of picnic tables scattered around with families and friends having birthdays, graduation parties, etc. The group I was with rented out the tented area, which was a nice size and had some dedicated grills and trash for convenience. I didn't swim or use the beach/lake area but there were plenty of people out there swimming, kayaking, and fishing.

His hair and beard are a vineyard of leaves, twigs and bits of food; he wears a coat of many colors, mainly the colors found on Holiday Inn lobby curtains. Here again, yes, with the same conundrum: Steelhead? Steelhead, yeah. They haunt me. Mmm. Haunting. One of my wives used to say, If it's so much trouble, why bother? She only lasted that one winter. Bother, indeed. Where are they? How do you catch one? Wives? Uh, no. Steelhead. Ah. They come from the silver trucks. They are dumped wholesale into The V, Rock, Chag, Grand, Connie. Spend a few years out in Erie, plumping up, then right back upstream. Some get lost, come up Burning River, most don't. They've come to spawn, not eat. Yeah, but catching them? Impatient, are we? Well. Get lost. No. Go on. I'm sorry. Stand in the river, cast until your arm numbs, repeat as necessary. Switch from streamer to nymph to egg pattern to nymph to streamer. Go when the weather is horrible, go when the bedsheets have just warmed up, before the alarm clock tolls. Go when the rod guides freeze.

We were short on time, but we did it anyway. We decided to paddle the entire time to speed it up. The driver who took us up stream was friendly and he chatted with us during the drive. Then he put our kayaks in the water and helped us board them. After paddling the entire time, it took us less than 1.5 hours to complete the trip. My daughter was happy because she had plans that evening. The river was scenic, there weren't a lot of people on it, and I'd definitely do this again. There were some shallow areas in the river where my kayak touched the bottom, but I was able to paddle out of it. Good times!
