This is a beautiful Onondaga County Park. There are several well marked trails of different…read morelengths. The two we walked were nice and shady, 1.2 and.6 miles, but because of the stairs and inclines, it ended up being a vigorous workout. The lower waterfall observation area was shady and beautiful with several benches to rest before the climb back up the stairs. The bathrooms were clean and it was a beautiful day.

I visited a couple of weeks ago, back when we had warm-but-not-yet-sweltering weather. This park is…read morea bit of a distance from Syracuse, but worth the drive. It's not too far off from Heritage Hill Brewery, so you can do a two-for and visit both-- however the park is lovely and worth a visit on its own. There's an overlook near the entrance where you can get a glimpse of the waterfall. However, the falls are also within walking distance of the start of the trail. The hill is on a slant and there are steep stairs, so the view may not be accessible for those who have difficulty walking. However, it was so calming just to sit and watch and listening to the waterfall. The day I went, there were others out but the paths didn't feel claustrophobic. I took some time and walked through the woods. The trail I took was relatively short, I think about a half mile total. I appreciated that there was a marker at the start that let you know how long it was. I am by no means a regular hiker (hoping to change that one day!) but this trail wasn't exhausting and was quite serene. This is a great park with a great waterfall and is definitely worth checking out!

Also, when talking with the manager Wen about the television situation, he said it was an issue with the Dish Network receiver. This was at 8 in the morning. When I went to the office to ask about the tv situation at 4:00 pm, Wen hadn't called anyone about the situation. I would recommend this campground for the children friendly activities, but an absolute zero for any issues about amenities in your camp trailer. The main man Paul has gone above and beyond to help, but the manager is only concerned about your money !

On one side of us, we had neighbors smoking weed right next to our windows. Our cabin REAKED of marijuana. This continued after we politely asked them if they could step away from our cabin when doing such as I am allergic and I also have a 9 month old. On Friday our other neighbors were extremely disrespectful and blasting music, yelling and running around being by crazy. The next day we heard a ton of fighting and yelling from the family. That night my baby was awoke by screaming and fighting. Leading to domestic violence and the police showed up. We hurried and packed up and left when we heard "he has a knife!!!" I have a 9 month old baby and it was complete chaos and I was taking no chances.m. I called to get some sort of refund or credit and was denied all. We had an absolutely awful experience. I love that it is close to home and my baby loved the river. I was really hoping that we would be able to get a do over. Being denied after explaining the situation and how distraught my baby was, made me so disappointed. I'm sad we are going to be cancelling our family trip and looking elsewhere. Extremely upset and sad that no compensation or anything was given after this terrible frightening experience.
