About
This park is a hiker's dream with stunning views from the ridge and a peaceful reservoir loop. It is a bit rocky, so wear good shoes, but the effort is worth it for the scenery. It can get busy, so early mornings are best. It is a great spot for photography and nature lovers, though some find the trail markings a bit confusing.
