    We came here February 2nd, 2026 to find out if General Beauregard Lee would see his shadow!…read moreThe park is not normally open on Mondays, but this was a special occasion. In fact, this was their 45th year celebrating Groundhog Day. The gates opened a little prior to 6am and there was plenty of parking. The restrooms were right next to the parking lot and not only were they clean...they were HEATED, which was so wonderful since it was about 25 degrees outside. It was a short walk to the festivities, less than a half mile, but it was through the woods (VERY CLEARLY marked!) and over some wooden boardwalks (not sure how handicap accessible this is but it was an easy walk for this out of shape girl.) Everything was well maintained and looked beautiful even in the dark. We were able to see a bald eagle and another hawk close to the groundhog enclosure. If it would have been a bit warmer (the pond was frozen over!) I would have loved to stay and see more of the animals. Especially the otters. This girl LOVES otters. There was quite a bit of merchandise available: stuffed groundhogs, bracelets, a variety of buttons, several different tee shirts, and magnets. We bought a few items and entered the raffle to win a gift bag that included the original copy of last years proclamation. It was a really cold wait for the 7:31 proclamation time, although the park did pass out hand warmers. I think we could have waited a bit longer but since this was our first time, we had no idea how big of a crowd to expect. I would guess that there were 100-150 people. Being so early, we were right up front but I think we would have been about to see if we had gotten there a bit later. All of the employees (volunteers?) were very nice and helpful. We met many people who do this annually and there were even news crews here. It was very fun and definitely worth attending. We will definitely be returning but only when it is absolutely warmer! Ps. He saw his shadow!

    Peaceful just walking around the whole park.... Need more movable animals, more lively.... But park…read morerules... Great place to work out!

    I would rate this 4 stars. Problems…read more *no signs to navigate you through the park. *it's not good for small children, babies toddlers,people that have disabilities. The path is very steep and there's only one place that has a beach type area. If you are Lucky and find the right path to go down then you can bring babies or toddlers. But I don't recommend it. * there are beer bottles and cigarettes scattered throughout the rocks. Not enough to not make you want to go, but they should have staff to clean. * no one is at the gate to take money or to guard. Pros *it is good for older children. I have a 7, 9, 12, 13, & 15 year old. We didn't have any issues going on the paths and finding our way. We are an adventurous family tho. * we brought tubes and the kids had a blast going down the rocks. * it didn't seem dangerous but I did stand near them just in case. My 7 & 13 year old went down. It was pretty cool. Tips * I recommend water shoes as there are rocks and it's easier to navigate with them on. * my kids are very strong swimmers,but I recommend life vests for smaller children *the *park at the horseshoe picnic area if you want the beach lake. (This is the easier way for small children) * if you want the top of the rapids continue to the dead end. We brought tubes and went down. It was a ton of fun. *bring a small cooler with drinks and lunch. Some people brought chairs and put them on the rocks and hung out.
