Thomas BonnerVery cool place to explore! Very large area with many roads through the woods. Will definitely be back to explore more areas. Would love to explore the old saw mill ruins, just haven't found them yet.

Jen RamirezWe had an amazing time discovering this little gem. There are lots of gravel roads, twisting all around, with a couple amazing springs/ swimming holes. Scuba divers know about this place because of the 100 ft+ deep caves. Beautiful tree cover. Super fun for a few hours of family exploration for only $6 per vehicle.

TJBeautiful place to go for a hike or even a drive down the dirt roads. Hunting and scuba diving are also very common. I love to come here and work up a sweat on a hike and then take a splash in the river to cool down. This place has a very mellow vibe, a great place to come and relax.

Robert BanachWhat a great wildlife preserve, when you enter you'll find picnic tables, restrooms and info about hunting and diving at the Springs... Lots of trails, more picnic areas, but you have to be ture the trails to find them... Park is very clean... Careful, lots of horseflies in some spots where there is standing water...

Nina EstepA very beautiful and peaceful place to get away for a while. The pictures don't show how beautiful it really is. There's 3 very old little bridges that you cross over, lots of different dirt trails that are named so you won't lose your way. At the end is the famous Eagles Nest, the sink that divers come from everywhere to dive in. The Ranger at the front entrance was very nice and helpful.
