This is a unique park not only for the sights, but learning about some of the history of what had to be done to mill all the lumber to take to the island and all the hard work to do so.

What really made the experience great was the staff who shared about the history of the park (who lived there a hundred years ago, how the settlers sawed wood, the water saw, nature trails. The zip line was fun. Climbed the rock wall and had a beautiful view of the water from...
