This park is a wonderland, the landscape of this park is so unique and the stormwater pond here attracts many animals and birds, which is always a treat to watch, we were warned about Coyotes around but haven’t spotted one so far. It’s a beautiful park for a walk with family. If you are a bird photographer, this place has plenty of birds around.

Easy walks from Marshall Springs. Good for dog walking, running, cycling etc. Has walks in the shade if a hot day. Well maintained pathways and plenty to see. We kept our eyes out for beavers and deer but didn't see any. Plenty of small creatures and birds though.

Beautiful Fish Creek Park. Always worth spending a few hours enjoying the pathways, the river, and the fire pits for "any season" weiner roasts. Picking up May 1st 2022 and the warblers are out and the mallards and mergansers are looking for love. Highly, highly recommend. Update 10/16/2022: Fall colors and lots of fallen leaves. Still amazing.

Really nice trails whether being paved or granular. There is also some tight trails between the trees but it appears to be a bit risky. There are also some closed trails for restoration purposes. I walked a relatively short route (a mix of granular and paved) and there are way too many trails to cover in a single day (for the average person of course!)

Good walks, dog, bike, running, or roller skating/blading friendly. Public bathrooms scattered here and there, quite a few great picnic spots. Would recommend.
