    I love this park. Every time I come it seems to be better! There are multiple picnic tables, a…read morecharcoal grill for a little BBQ and porta potties if you need to go. I took the ledges trail for the first time, it had better marking and a sign describing the trail. It is much more difficult compared to the lake trail, there are uphills and some tall steps. For people with short legs like me, I tripped on one of the steps because it was taller than expected! After the uphill area there is a flat path leading to a distant view of the lake and a bench to sit to take it in. This park is my go-to for a short easy walk in the wood, it is good all year around too! I am not sure what one of the reviewers is talking about when it comes to private property with no trespassing. I think far down one of the trails there is a part of the woods that has no trespassing but there is a lot more to the park before that point. To get to the state park, you need to turn to the right then come back across the main road to the road on the other side, down that road a little bit you should see the sign for the park and the road on the left hand side. Hope this helps someone find this little gem!

    it's a beautiful place, however, alot of the signs don't have arrows to point you in the right…read moredirection. trying to get to a beach that says it allows pets. where is it? sign says "beach bypass trail" I don't take that of course, hike .5 miles more to a sign that says "beach access by beach bypass trail"?????? so I go there and it says "no pets allowed". what the heck is going on? 4 mile hike with no trail to water where pets are allowed. don't go if you have a dog.

    5/5 - Our Favorite Dog Park!…read more We've been bringing our GSP here 4-5 days a week for nearly a year, and 95% of the time it's a fantastic experience. There's a strong community of regulars, and most dog owners are responsible and attentive. You'll find a rhythm to the park: the 9am crew, the noon "puppy hour," and a lively 5pm group (avoid this time if your dog prefers a mellower vibe). In summer, there's water available and people often bring kiddie pools. The park is donation-based, so consider bringing your own water for your pup (and others!), just in case. As with any public space, you'll occasionally run into an untrained or aggressive dog--usually brought by someone new to dog parks. In the past year, I've only seen two serious incidents. In one case, a dog attacked another and was subsequently banned by the city. In another, a dog aggressively "resource guarded" its favorite best friend dog at the park, and attacked any other dog who wanted to play with his best friend. It was handled by the community. Incidents like these are rare but worth being aware of. Personally, I stay vigilant. I screen every new dog my pup meets and carry a pet corrector spray and small foghorn, just in case. I never assume others are as proactive, so I ask questions and stay alert. It's every owner's responsibility to manage their dog to ensure everyone's safety--that's how public spaces like this thrive. Overall, Starr Farm is hands-down the best dog park around. The positive experiences far outweigh the negative, and we've made great connections. There's even a "Friends of Starr Farm Dog Park" Facebook group, which has grown to include social outings for dog owners. My dog does well here because she's highly trained, socially savvy, and prefers fetch over pack play. If something seems off--like a checked-out owner or a dog with concerning behavior--I create distance or leave. There's also a smaller fenced-in area for shy, small, or young dogs right beside the larger fenced in area FYI. It shares the same parking lot and it's gated entrance is on the left side (when you park). A few asks to keep this space safe: - If your dog resource guards other dogs, please don't bring them here. If they resource guard high value "toys" or other dogs balls, please be aware of this while at the park and manage the situation (like don't bring it's favorite toy) to avoid creating triggers for aggression. - If your dog isn't up-to-date on vaccines or parasite prevention, please stay home. - If your dog is aggressive or attacks other dogs, this is not the place--try a private "Sniff Spot" rental instead. Community spaces only stay safe and welcoming if we protect them. This park is a gem because people genuinely care. Let's keep it that way!
