Couldn't explore much of it in one visit as there's so much to trail if one wants to. But the visitor guide staff was very helpful and parking was free so that's a plus. Not sure for how long they keep it free though. Ended up going to Vista trail and then going down to the creek. Spent most of the time there and it was very peaceful. I would suggest use some bugs and mosquito spray just in case and bring your own water and juice. Porta potty was there as well but didn't try it. Spent almost 2 hours of trail and then returned. Overall, nice place for some quality time with friends and family.
