Sightseeing
Unforgettable old growth forest with lots of well-groomed trails, for biking, hiking and walking. The zoo is fun, and well designed. Owens beach (inside the park) also offers BBQing, swimming and kayaking. Stunning views and lovely gardens are found throughout. This place is a treasure, and the second largerst state park in the U.S. behind Central in New York.
