Loved this park! Playground is great. Lots for the kiddos to climb and swing and slide on. The river is the main event though. We tossed rocks in the river for an hour or so and could have stayed all day. Nice and quiet. Great shade. Easy parking. Good times.

The river is Stunning, fast flowing, but also places where you can float around more and swim, not so much of a current. There were people going down the river on their tubes, it wasn’t too busy. Lots of parking. About a five minute walk to river from parking lot. Best to bring water socks or good sandals to wear in river cause rocks are slippery, and not as easy to walk on. Although there are some areas where it’s more pebbles. I loved it here I will cone back.

Nice small, short, trail along the river. Easily accessible to all ages and abilities. Might see kayakers float by, or large fish swimming up river. Popular spot to swim, tube the river, play with dogs, and hangout in the summer. There's a small playground with swings, slides, and standard park equipment.
The only thing it lacks is a standout scenic point. Closest marks are the large boulder across the river that many people jump off in the summer (locally known as big chief), or the bend across from the park where the small bridge crosses over. This is where dozens, and sometimes hundreds, of fish can be found if you choose to snorkel here.

Nice park that has a river where you can fish for salmon depending on the time of the year. The paths where nice with some wooden bridges and a nice walk through the forest. The River was nice to see and listen too. There were people fishing along the river while I walked around. The place was nice and peaceful. There was a person in an electric scooter going around too so some parts where easy to get to and move around.

Short but well maintained walking paths. In the Fall you can see salmon feeding in the river and returning to spawn in the creek. A nice park to spend an hour or so taking in nature's beauty
