The cabins are beautiful and very well maintained. They are comfortable and well equipped. Staff was courteous and responsive to any need. Every cabin has a Great Lake view and they are situated to allow for quiet, peaceful experiences. The onsite restaurant is delicious and the prices are great. I highly recommend this place for a lake getaway.

I bring my binoculars and always spot a great variety of birds. The trees are absolutely stunning... there are over 100 species of trees. Honestly... it's a little escape from a hectic world. It's the perfect place to bring a book, find your spot, and just relax for a while. Whether you're looking to unwind, enjoy nature, or have a quiet moment to yourself...this park is a hidden gem that never disappoints. Perfect for getting in your steps too! I like to go early morning before it gets too hot or busy. Starting in May they have free canoe rentals!! They also have very good food. Love their fresh fruit cups which they prepare every morning daily, their sandwiches are fresh and very good! I've also had their ice cream and it's delicious. When you first walk into the main building, you can check out chess pieces and other games. Some of the tables have the chessboard design printed on them. Perfect for getting your chess game on. Every Wednesday and Sunday, you can bring your dog. Over at the boathouse on the bottom floor they have a little museum called "Drawers of curiosity." Hard to believe The Gathering Place doesn't charge an entrance fee!! It's just simply amazing!

If having to park away from the parking lot it might be quite a walk to the trails.

There were multiple artifacts out that I felt I had to stop my toddler from possible breaking. So maybe not kid safe for multiple kids being watched by one parent.

Well at least when the weather is cool enough, and the humidity low enough, that you can stand to be outside. Mostly October through April. There is a closed, isolated section of Mohawk Blvd. that lies within the boundaries of the preserve. It makes for a beautiful hard surfaced walking trail. In addition to the scenery, there is usually some wildlife. The area is great if you are into birding. There is a small lake that always has water fowl and it is not uncommon to see deer or hear an owl. This year's drought has taken its toll. The lake and pond levels are lower and the trees have been punished. Noticeably quite a few trees didn't survive. A great peaceful place to walk.

Also, I noticed that there were signs with a QR code that you could scan to get a map. Very helpful! The biking trails are very nice too. There are nice and well built ramps and jumps. (Sorry I don't have any picture of them) There's also a beginner trail for people who are new to trail biking (me). By the entrance, there's a water refill station and a bathroom. Very helpful after a hike. Overall, great hiking destination and I highly recommend it! Beware: don't go hiking at 12 pm on Wednesdays and Saturdays because the tornado sirens are very loud!
