Grew up just down the street from here

I grew up in Burlington and used to visit this place often. This place has a little of everything except mountains. You can fish, hunt, hit the trail in your boots, or on your ORV. There is swimming but as kids I remember some people getting swimmers itch or chiggers from time to time. There is a picnic area for family events. There is a drop off point for your trash and for your recycling if you are not packing-out. The tent sites and nature center were great when I was in boy scouts 20ish years ago. If you are a teenager in the area and looking to partake in activities such as this places name implies - sorry for ruining it for you a while back! LOL Seriously if you are in the area this is a great place right off a county highway. Easy access and a very decent park.
