Insider tips

Bring insect repellent as the dense vegetation and lake areas attract mosquitoes.

Wear closed-toe athletic shoes if you intend to hike the steeper, unpaved forest trails.

Check the park's official social media channels before visiting, as certain areas may be reserved for private events or maintenance.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to feed the wildlife or stray from marked hiking trails, as the terrain can be rugged.

Etiquette

Maintain silence in forest trails to observe wildlife; strictly follow 'carry-in, carry-out' waste protocols.
