Nice small park. The fishing dock is nice but only on one side of the lake and the water there is really shallow. Also, only 3 or 4 parking spaces for truck and boats at the ramp. No other parking for the fishing dock. Fishing feom the bank is ok. The grass is grown up a little. The dock shown in the map pic isnt there anymore. The winter freeze took it out.
