Wonderfully quiet. The lake views are lovely. There are a number of good spots to spread a blanket or sit at a picnic table. The trails are not super well kept (at least not when I visited) and there was trash washed up from littering around the lake sadly, but I really truly enjoyed my time there all the same.

We called and specifically asked what the zoo areas open hours/closing time then asked if it's dog "wiener dog" friendly. The guy replied yes. We drove 30 minutes pulled into the gate paid our $10 ($5 each) they seen the dog in my lap. Once through and entered the wildlife park a rude worker lady complained We have a dog and they're not allowed. She called and confirmed so we went to leave 5 minutes after paying to enter. I requested my refund of $10 and they rudely denied. Thanks to uninformed employees we wasted an hour commuting and $10. It's the principle not the amount but to some people $10 is a lot. Get it right!

My absolute favorite place. I'm 30, I came here when I was 6/7. I remember it vividly. It really stuck with me, picking up peacock feathers and petting the deer. I loved the little museum. It's one of the first times I realized I enjoyed science. If you bring your kids here they will treasure it forever.

We have been swimming at this lake a summer.. once a week we all load up and go.. today we loaded up and when we got there they decided that it is now closed on Monday and Tuesday! Did not fix this on there website and it has not been like that until now! Just ridiculous... who closes a lake, by the way it is a swim at your own risk place and they told us they did not have enough people to work those days anymore! Just very disappointed! Do not try and go to the zoo either! They charge 5 a person to see a couple of deer , a turkey, 2 chickens and a peacock!

$5 a person?!? That's a lot! Why not charge by the car? No annual pass option either. The petting zoo, is not. Only reason I gave it two stars is because I did catch one small catfish and a pretty large bluegill...I'm not going again...plenty of place to fish for free...it's a shame, location is nice
