On a January weekday, my sister and I went for a hike on the well-marked yellow trail, and we went to see the rock springs. On the trail we only saw other people nearer to the parking lots. We saw many squirrels and one deer. The trail was shaded and dry sand, leaves and pine needles. There was only a small elevation change. The Rock Springs and river were Beautiful. A few people were swimming in the cool water. We had picked up sandwiches at a store before we came to the park and ate them in a picnic shelter but had to be watchful of the hungry squirrels. It cost $3 for two people in one car.

We came many years ago and had the park to ourselves. Saw a lot of wildlife. Not this time even though we came early. Get your tube at the bar if you don’t have one. Magnificent water and clean paradise.

This was a beautiful, and relaxing experience. The park is spacious, clean, and the water is gorgeous and around 68 degrees. The employees were helpful. Arrive early in the summer or risk not getting in (Between 6-7 AM). Bring chairs or a blanket, and tube, or rent one just outside the park to use for your float down the springs. Bring your own food and drinks or buy from the snack bar. More than enough picnic tables or just sit out on your blanket. Very very shady in parts of the park. No alcohol or pets allowed. There were two of us and admission was $3.00. Best deal of the entire vacation!
