We went on a rainy day because the trip was already planned. It was a little hard to find the center since there are new roads that the GPS didn't pick up, so leave a little early. The front desk staff was slow and rude (don't count on them for any help or advise), which started our day on a... more

They also have a store and a restaurant. The restaurant has very good food at fair prices. You can come to the park for free and use the trails,... more
