  I don't give many 5 stars but I'd give this park 4 1/2 if I could.
  The road in is not long and is hard-packed gravel. I rode my motorcycle in with no problem. There's plenty of parking and a couple paved, handicap spots, near the restrooms. The restrooms have flush toilets and sinks. There is also a pavilion with picnic tables and a nice fishing dock that are both wheelchair accessible. There are ample picnic tables with grills on the lawn and park benches here and there for relaxing. If you're in a walking mood there is a woods trail along the waters edge that leads to the dam. It's an easy walk (1/3 mile) but watch out for tripping hazards...roots and rocks.
