Needs maintenance but a really interesting pace to visit. Make sure and read up on the page before you visit so you can see all is idiosyncrasies.

★★★☆☆

Nice place for a nature walk. Not much onsite to guide your tour. Appears not much maintenance provided to the area. The one information area was in need of cleaning and upkeep.
