This is a charming little park if you have only a short time to spend. There’s the trains to see and picnic spots as well as a gazebo. My nephew enjoys the trains there.
They unfortunately took the fort down. I remember playing in it as kids; it was our favorite park because of how unique it is. I believe there is still an open, one room, cabin near where the fort was.
There’s multiple play sets as well as an amphitheater that kids usually enjoy playing on. Plenty of things to do for adults and kids including trails, basketball, picnic shelters, and a frisbee golf course.
When I watch the nieces or nephews this is where we usually go to play. They enjoy it so much that even when we get food they want to eat it there like a picnic. I still enjoy it just as much myself.
Beautiful hidden gem! This place may be small, but it has it all. The main building used to be an old dam for the Ohio River; it is now a museum about the river. There were 7 houses that used to be on the property that were used to house the folks who worked at the dam. Only one of these buildings remains and is used as a research center. Along with there being a museum, there is a playground and a telescope (that you don’t have to pay a quarter to look through). The park is along the river so you can watch boats come up and down all day. There is also a nature reserve. Its a mile long and is a beautiful and easy hike. There are restrooms available outside and I believe inside as well. The museum is wheelchair accessible and has a lot of beautiful history. Lastly, there are docks, a free boat ramp to put your boats in or take them out, and a basketball hoop. Plenty of parking and several shelters, as well as stuff to see inside and out! Must see when passing through!
