I delivered a load to this business and despite the poor location and no shipping facilities to speak of, everyone there was incredibly polite and accommodating. This makes up for everything the physical facility lacks and I'm guessing that if they treated a trucker this well, they must really take great care of their customers.

This is the most disrespectful person I have ever met in my entire life . I've traveled with my…read morehusband for the past 8 years different States cities and even small towns for his job . I needed a ride one day and came across this lady Shannon ask her to pick me up at 12:30 because I had an appointment at 1:00 it was a 20 minute drive . She had plenty of time to get me to my appointment at the capital but decided she need to pick up another Rider on the way which was 10 Mi out of the way . Needless to say I was late for my very important appointment at the Capitol building there in Frankfort Kentucky. I have to visit Frankfort because of my job and will always rely on Uber or Lyft to give me to where I need to be because this lady Shannon is not dependable . If you have a job and you are depending on Happy Trails Shannon which is never happy to get you to where you're going you might as well just chalk it up and call you a Uber or Lyft that's not very professional either but Uber and Lyft is way more professional than happy trails Shannon . After speaking to a few coworkers at the meeting I had to go to that day I have heard so many bad things so the next part is just hearsay but it came from more than one person that are locals to Frankfort . She is continuously late picking you up and continuously late getting you to your job appointment whether it be a doctor or just dropping someone off at a friend's house she is always late . If she makes a mistake like falls asleep and forgets about you she blames it on other people that work for her . She's supposed to be a nice Christian lady but there's nothing Christian about the gossip that I heard in the backseat of her vehicle on the way to my appointment to the Capitol . I'm just trying to save people from being late to their very important appointments since Frankfort is the state capital of Kentucky and people are coming in and out of Frankfurt for various reasons . Shannon you could be much better at your job if you wasn't trying to do 15 other things and the gossip and the Christian thing that we had a conversation about in your vehicle during my ride does not sit right with me I let you know that the day of and I'm letting you know that now . Happy Trails needs to be a gossip columnist because because that's all you are about . Hope this saves professional ppl so you don't ever have to be humiliated in front of your employees like I was when I showed up late to my meeting because Shannon thought she was saving a few dollars in gas by picking up the other rider b4 dropping me off. This is not only dangerous to riders but to ppl she picks up with other riders already in her vehicle.

I will definitely be recommended them to all my friends.

I went there to walk my dog and be in nature. The majority of the main paved walking path is actually separate from the park. It runs alongside the road that runs through the park.

Also, there was some construction and a lot of electrical lines with big metal bases along the path, which also detracted from the little bit of nature.

The hamburgers they made there were better than ANY at ANY food place we've been to in all of Lexington KY. Must be some home recipe. One day we went there just to get a burger/fries. They chase everyone out of the pool every 45 min or so. Why not make some kind of lighted sign with a giant clock to show in a non-angry way its part of the plan? The lifeguards blow whistles all the sudden and yell at the kids to get out, as if this is a Jaws movie. Make it non threatening and encourage getting fresh water or a small snack? Play music 1 minute before the kick out time, setup tables with free water cups? have some small challenges, throw a frisbee into a target and win a small prize or who knows. But they dont do these things. Parking is miserable, expect your car will be hit by someone's door. Period.

Our puppy loved the ducks (and these were some FRIENDLY and INTERACTIVE ducks...) and we experienced some other cool avian sightings. Not a surprise - but the restrooms were suitably scary and during the first part of our visit, the overcast and gray sky made the cement building feel ripe for a horror movie experience... compete with a scary service truck and a man in stained overalls. (Please note, the gentleman was actually very friendly and engaging and was hard at work - he was not in any way a negative presence). The park is expansive and it was actually really busy for a Thursday evening. The dog park was intriguing but we ran out of time to visit. The play area had something for all ages and was popular with children through teens. Loads of parking and the shelter area was great for a school gathering. Can't wait to visit again!

There are plenty of green spaces and empty fields to play frisbee, flag football, or volleyball. I drove to the dog park area since the park is strict on having the dogs on leash at all times, so I went there. The dog parks for both small and large dogs are enormous! I have never seen that size of a dog park since I was in Colorado--and that state is known for being pet friendly, so their parks and restaurants are 90% pet-friendly. I took my dog to the small dog park as he is small. It was still 4 P.m. and too hot for my dog. There are not a lot of shades in the small dog area compared to the large dog area. I did not stay that long as my dog did not like being grilled under the sun. I checked out the rest of the park by driving around and noticed a vast playground, a marina (although the water has receded), empty fields, a picnic area, and even a camping area! If I had come later in the day when it was not too hot for my dog, I would have enjoyed my stay here. I have seen plenty of residents around here with their kids, birthday party groups, and groups playing frisbee. I can tell that it is a great park to visit. Cool spot ~

A lady drove around a drink cart with sodas, beers and snacks. She was very friendly and treated our guests well. The team also provided us with a shade canopy where we judged a closest to the pin contest. I also appreciated that we were able to provide our guests with cold water bottles and peanut butter crackers without it being an issue we hadn't purchased the items from them. We were also able to have a vendor bring their trailer and unload a huge grill to make lunch for our guests.
