Great park!! There are a lot of trails.
I recommend shoes with treds. We'll be going back soon. Some of the trails are make your way which is pretty cool. Just be careful when crossing the streams and wet rocks. So get out there and explore. Take in the fresh air and take a pair of binoculars with you. There are woodpeckers everywhere!
