Lovely park in downtown blowing rock. There's a parking lot that makes it easy to access. Paved…read morewalking trails around a small pond, dog walking bags, trash cans, etc available. When I was there, there were a bunch of landscaping people tending to the grounds. We saw deer and ducks on the park. People were fishing and that was allowed, but it was catch and release only. This is a nice park in the middle of Blowing Rock right next to the swimming pool and behind a bunch of shops and restaurants. Nice little getaway smack in the middle of town!

Such a beautiful but small park!…read more The walking trail around the lake is about .50 miles so we did it a couple times. Leashed dogs are welcomed. The botanical gardens are beautiful with the red bridges and gazebo. There are restrooms available. Recommend if you are in the area.

Amazing views!!!…read more Came here on a group hike and it did not disappoint! We did the 4 something mile loop from the upper parking lot to the waterfall and back to the parking lot. It is hard! The amount of incline is enough but going up the stairs after resting at the waterfall was dreadful. We survived! The views are OMG!!!!! Wow! Breathtaking at each lookout. The stone is so smooth it almost looks painted. It rained a little at one of our lookout stops and it was such a refreshing experience. Cellphone reception here is super limited and so I want to come back in hopes I'll be able to actually track my hike .

Great little park, especially in the summertime! Splash pad is fun! Lots of swings (including baby…read more& disabled).

It is a steep climb but thanks for the park rangers and contractors that build the trail, you can hike it with sneakers even when the ground is wet. You can't swim in the pools but the water is very clear and we should keep it that way At the viewing platform, there are trash everywhere like a Walmart parking lot. Nasty people can't keep the place clean. Water bottles, socks, and plenty of cookie wrappers . Probably same people who hike with Crocs or with a cup of coffee on hand.

I feel I need to share about this place to offer a more fair and balanced view than another…read morereviewer. Once a year in the summer, my husband's family meets at Steele Creek Campground for a day of swimming, eating, and family togetherness. My father-in-law has been coming here since he was young, and my husband and his brothers and sisters came here a lot during their childhood. It's nestled in the gorgeous Blue Ridge mountains and the temperature is perfect during the hot southern summers. The creek water is mountain cold! The park is very clean, although the smaller restrooms near the creek desperately need updating. The pool isn't quite so cold, so the kids like to switch back and forth between that and the creek. There's a big, winding tube slide built into the mountain, which does cost extra. There are two diving boards on the deep part of the creek, and also a putt putt course that looks well kept. This place has a wonderful family atmosphere. The families laugh together and people make friends. My family has not camped here, but we have strolled through the camping areas to check it out. There are a lot of RVs, lots of pop up campers, and a few tents. Lots of kids with bicycles. I grew up camping - mostly at Table Rock - and my siblings and I loved riding our bikes through the campgrounds. And in a park like this you can feel comfortable letting them. Basically, if you want WILDERNESS camping, you're not going to find it at a *campground* in the summer in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Duh! Giving a 1 star review over seeing RVs and children riding bikes and men without shirts on is unfair and rather...well, snobby and prima donna-ish...for lack of a better word. Steele Creek is a wonderful campground if you know anything about campgrounds and know what to expect in-season.

I did all this far in advance so that I could lock it a great event. So pumped to take kid. Then I heard that the event was canceled. It bummed me out. So I contacted Horse power park in advance to cancel the Treefort as it had said. They said in there contract that the money would be returned in 24 hours..... Great, but there was a problem with it being returned cause my original card was missing. I had to get another. I made them aware of this. Now it's 5 months and no return and they won't return calls or text messages. Is this right? I've been so patient but it's over. They asked for my address a month ago..... I was thinking they would mail me a check. Nope..... nothing and still no calls. I this day how would the rest of you feel about not getting your $220 returned? I bet they would want their money returned to them. I'm curious to why they would do business in this way.
