Insider tips

Check the township calendar before visiting, as the park is frequently closed to general public access during large events like the county fair.

Bring bug spray during summer months, as proximity to the creek increases mosquito activity.

Utilize the gravel walking paths for a clear route that avoids the grass areas which can remain soggy after rain.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to park in areas designated for event vendors during fair setup weeks.

Good to know

The park is significantly restricted or entirely closed to the public during the annual Wyoming County Fair event period in late summer.

Etiquette

Leash laws apply to all pets, and visitors are expected to practice carry-in, carry-out waste disposal.
