Picnicking: A reservable picnic shelter with grill is available for up to 80 guests or can be used for free for casual day use individuals and groups less than 15.

Cross Country Ski: Due to the steep incline/decline the 1 mile looped trail is considered an advanced cross country ski trail and is not groomed.

Chorus Frogs

Chorus frogs are small, smooth skinned and greenish-grey, olive or brown in color.  They have small round toes without pads and very little webbing between each toe.  A distinctive dark stripe that runs from the snout through its eye and along its body makes it easy to identify.  The best time to see them is on a warm night when they come out to call.  Their sound has been compared to running a finger over the fine teeth of a pocket comb.
