I hit the Lakeside Beach on the North Shore today & enjoyed my visit. There is a large gravel…read moreparking lot, a concession stand & restrooms. There is a paved slope path down to the water so could push a stroller or wheelchair to the sand area. The beach is unguarded. You are supposed to swim in the roped area, but people swam outside of it due to being a busy 95 degree Saturday. It was only about 4 feet deep even out past rope that says 5 feet. There are shaded tree areas on hillside. The sandy area I preferred to South shore's Pleasantville beach. Definitely recommend for a swim or for sitting in the sun or the shade near the lake with a beautiful view.

This is a small park, but great place for bird watching and for special events…read more They have bird watching every Thursday at 9 a.m. Recently, the class spotted an Indigo Bunting and a King Bird. They have a tall "tower" (on the edge of the parking lot), a project to encourage Swallows to nest and have babies. They even have instructions if you want to build one at home. The park features two ponds, one near the entrance, across from the parking lot. Lined with willows and other trees, it's a pretty place for picnicking. Straight past the insanely tiny (holds about 10-12 cars) parking lot, is a tented area for special events. To the right of the parking lot is Marcraig House. It's a beautiful, old stone house, now used for special events. It's great for entertaining wedding or vow renewal guests...a perfect place for cocktails. There's a huge, old barn just behind the house, now used for storage. Beyond that, is a cute, quaint, little cottage, which is largely used for a catering office. I peered inside, and immediately thought it would be a great bed & breakfast place for a bridal couple to stay after the wedding. It has a small, abandoned greenhouse attached, apapparently growing a nice little crop of weeds.

This trail just fully opened. It runs from Butler to Freeport at just over 20 miles. Road crossings…read moreare clearly marked so you can slow the young ones can be yelled to stop. The trail is Pennsylvania 'flat' as it was an old railroad route. If you want to get technical, there are some slopes to the trail, but nothing steep. They're just gradual enough to let you know you're tired of peddling 'up'. You can catch the trail at any road crossing, some have way better parking space than others, like the two ends. There are a several benches and picnic tables along the route, so you can take a load off or have a snack. The trash you bring in, you take back out with you... So bring a garbage bag if you have a group. The scenery is mostly green, with a creek usually close by. If you start in Butler, the trail is about quad width, generally it gradually increases in width until you reach Freeport where it's wide and paved. You pass a store on your left called Derailer's just after crossing a red wooden bridge. About 30 mins after starting in Butler. Just down the path after the store, the trees open up and you ride through the golf course (Serene). If you're thirsty for a beer you can head up to their little restaurant and get a bottle of beer, no drafts. They also serve BAR food if you forgot to pack a snack, shame on you. A few parts of the trail get dicey after a hard rain. So be aware... They do have small signs warning of rough trail ahead. That's nice of them.

If you're looking for a nice trail with some great scenery, that's shady and always maintained well…read morethis is a nice ride for you. I suggest starting at the Freeport end of the trail and parking at the trailhead in Laneville right near the Freeport bridge. You can go under route 28 and all the way up into Butler. On the way back your last 5 miles will be a nice gradual downhill slope all the way back into Laneville. There's only one place to stop for refreshments on the trail and that is it the old Herman post office. If you go all the way into Butler, the trailhead is only minutes away from the hotdog shop on Monroe Street, if you're looking to replace burned-up calories, it's a great place to go!

The clubhouse building and facilities are obviously well-kept, attended to and clean. This is a quality country club. If I lived closer I'd be a member for sure!

I visited over the American Independence Day holiday weekend in July 2021. PERFECT FOR FAMILIES - My 4 friends and I actually walked for about a mile at a man-made trail that is located right at this park and then we we took some photos at the park sign. There is a small PLAYGROUND at the park for children to enjoy. EXERCISE - If you want a designated place to walk, jog, sprint, hop, etc, then this is your spot. You can easily get your daily steps in at this park. In the summer, bring a hat and sunscreen because the trees are located on the outer part of the park while the main inside area is open. If you ever visit western PA and find yourself in Amish country then I recommend Marti Park. - 56/100 total reviews in 2021 - 476 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 21 November 2021
