City park of 5.56 acres. There's a playground, a baseball field, a messed up basketball court and…read morea brand new huge parking lot that is ugly and unnecessary. There is a building with warm weather bathrooms. Not really any quality picnic or barbeque facilities. This property was donated to the City of Manitowoc by William Rheaume on December 6, 1960. Considering there is a pile of gravel in front of the basketball hoop, there is no hoop shooting at this park. The best part is the big open field that's good for having a catch. Not the most impressive park; but it does serve a neighborhood. Right now it's pretty tore up.

There is a picnic area with grills and tables. Playground equipment has been developed on the hillside northwest of the parking lot. A picnic area with a grill and a small shelter and toilet are located near the parking lot on the lower level. The lake access has a pier, which is used for both launching and fishing. This 19-acre lake offers good rainbow trout fishing as well as large mouth bass, crappie, bluegill, perch and northern pike. Use of motors on this lake is prohibited. You will see fishermen with high power bass boats moving slowly, using just their electric trolling motors. The wooded area between the two arms of the lake yields an area that promises good birding. Good fishing draws attention. At any given time you will see folks wetting a hook. There are 1.2 miles miles of shoreline. The lake averages 25 feet, with 54 feet being the deepest spot. The boarding dock, and the route of travel to it, is ADA accessible. This lake is described as a seepage, "two-story" lake. If you are looking for a nice fishing spot, a place for a picnic, a place for small gathering, or a nice place to get into the woods it would behoove you to find this nice little park off of county highway XX. Bring your light rig.

The view of the lake and beach is amazing from the escarpment that runs along the edge of the lake. I saw an eagle one day flying over the lake and landing in a tree near me. There is a natural path through a wooded area that gives access to the beach. This beach is a lightly traveled one that is good for a picnic or just relaxing in solitude.

Point Creek defines the southern boundary of the property, which includes over 1,000 feet of riparian corridor." I love this place!! Little known place is a secret of locals. Outstanding birding area, mergansers offshore. Last year, while I was there, I was surrounded by dozens (yes, dozens) of golden crowned kinglets. The trails are relatively easy. The spruce forest is a haven for birds. Last fall I saw an elderly couple come out of the woods with several baskets of mushrooms. I, myself, have foraged for edible mushrooms there many times. The views from the bluff are fantastic. The beach is sandy and lonely. You will rarely encounter anyone on the trails. This is a magical, remote area that is a must visit for nature lovers. Deer, fox, porcupines, and all nature of other little critters. I will reiterate that the birding is wonderful. The area where Point Creek meets Lake Michigan is a magical place. If you want to commune with nature in a truly beautiful place, this is a hidden gem you will not want to miss. Bring someone you love, a bottle of wine, and a picnic lunch. Don't forget your binoculars.
