Infested. Algonquin Park itself has a bunch of nice trails and it's so peaceful out there when the wind is blowing and you have a slice of pizza and some drinks from the place across the street. It's very family friendly and well kept. Don't remember any Canadian geese being out there actually, which was quite a surprise.

I hope efforts continue to maintain and preserve this natural space for all to enjoy.

The parking lot was huge and it was a short walk to the entrance of the facility. I noticed there was a cafe called " Acorns" which had food and snacks and then saw bathroom facilities and showers ! It was just what i was looking for to post up and hang for a while. I will say, the showers are not the best kept, so have low expectations but there was hot water so it was exactly what i was looking for. There was a beautiful tree covered walkway down to the beach, which made it feel magical and it opened up to the lake. It wasn't the largest beach but it was perfect. The beach was really clean and lifeguards on duty. I' m so happy this place was recommended to me by a local Park Ranger when i asked for places to swim in the area. I was visiting Cold Spring for the day.

Only down side is no floating devices allowed. Social distancing ENFORCED and while at the sandy side you must be 10 feet apart. If you go use the restrooms you must wear your mask. No dogs allowed in the sand area. Overall nice lake to spend your summer in, they do have a strict limit of how many people/cars are allowed. When it gets over crowded in the weekend they will close admission for the day. Definitely best to go during the week to be safe. Otherwise, make sure to get there nice and early to guarantee admission. Open from 9-6

Travel through the hardwood forests of Marian Yarrow to discover its wetlands, and continue on to Hidden Lake to watch for migratory birds. Just east of the lake, you will find a small stream cascading down a 30-foot waterfall before flowing into Indian Brook. The remainder of the preserve combines rugged and gentle terrain with maturing deciduous forest and a small meadow. Recommendation: the red trail will lead you to the waterfall. Also, the correct address is directly across 508 Mt Holly Rd, not on Todd Rd.

Anyway, this is a pretty small park owned by the Nature Conservancy, part of a trio of parks called the Indian Brook Assemblage. It's about 70 acres in total, and is home to a pretty well maintained network of trails, which are for the most part well blazed. There's one ring trail with a side loop that you can take to make an overall larger loop. It's mostly made up of mixed hardwoods, and there's a little lake in the middle, which is home to migratory birds, so this would make a good bird watching park. There's a connector trail that leads to the adjacent Mildred E. Grierson Wildlife Sanctuary. I wouldn't say that this is really a destination park. There's a small waterfall, but due to the drought conditions, it was not existing at the time we visited. The trails in the park aren't super challenging. I think that if I were able to make a loop that incorporates the other parks in the Assemblage, I would consider it more of a destination. It's definitely a park worth visiting if you live more in the area. Parking is a little bit tight, with about 4 spaces along the roadside.
