Excellent park!
This is a great park! It has excellent trails that weren't too difficult for our 5 year old. There were beautiful views at every turn. The trails intersect in such a way that you can make your hike...

Great place to stop while in Alpena.
Beautiful! We loved the BoyScouts created info plaques along the trail. Short hike, less than a mile.

Good place to walk and stretch
Nice covered bridge. Nice 3/4 mile loop trail plus has a handicap accessible trail. We saw turtles , a comeran and fish. We noticed they rent kayaks in the summer.

Sweet walk
Really a nice little place. My two year old handled the walk - some sandy and narrow spots by the water, but manageable for most. Nice view, and loved the bridge. Well maintained and quiet too.
