Very clean and pretty. Went here a month ago to view the eclipse. Only thing is I saw signs for a concession stand and never found it. Not sure if it's not there anymore or if I was just lost. Aside from that, great place!

We went to see the eclipse and it was Amazing! I did some hiking in the area and the paths were into the woods. Dogs were everywhere with their owners.
