This is a free public park with limited amenities, so plan to bring your own water, snacks, and sunscreen. Parking is available on-site, but restroom facilities may be limited.

Best visited spring through fall when weather permits outdoor activities. Trails may be muddy in early spring or after rain. Fall foliage along the river creates especially picturesque scenery. Winter visits are possible but dress warmly and check trail conditions first.
