This expansive 1,080-acre scenic park is a popular venue for large group picnics and community events. The hardwood hammock, pastureland, prairie and wetland ecosystems inspire nature and wildlife enthusiasts, while the park amenities invite group activities.

With a view toward a small nature lake, the event pavilion with kitchen, and 2 small pavilions and grills beside a larger lake are near a playground and restrooms.

A family picnic shelter and individual picnic tables are around the lake, with volleyball and horseshoe facilities nearby. The large lake features a natural canoe launch (fishing is welcomed there and in the tributaries, although swimming is not allowed).

A nature trail with botanical markers is located near the large pavilion, and another woodland nature trail is on the south side of the lake near the camping area.
