The cool water stays refreshing even in the heat of summer, making the park one of the most popular spots in the region for warm-weather fun. Beyond swimming, the park has picnic areas, playgrounds and shaded grounds for relaxing, and a campground makes it easy to turn a day trip into an overnight stay. It is a good choice for families with children. Admission is $5 for adults 12 and older, $2 for children 4 to 11 and seniors 62 and older, and free for children under 4.
