This is a new addition via the Piedmont Land Conservancy. There are 2 nice loop trails through the woods. There's a nice picnic area and restroom. A new trail along the creek is in the planning stages. I forget if you can launch canoe or kayaks here so check their Web site.
As a relatively new state park that is still under development the features are limited here, but what they have seems very nice. There were a couple of large shelters, as numerous picnic tables, restrooms and a large open field for playing. I hiked the 2 mile loop trail through the woods which was well marked and goes through various environments, by a partially collapsed log cabin, and was an easy hike. A cutoff offers an easier 0.5 mile loop as well. Along the trail various types of trees had descriptions posted. Near the shelters there is a pond for fishing. Just off the park grounds is a launch on the Mayo River, really just concrete stairs appropriate for kayaks and canoes coming downstream. Lots of potential for this park.
Be sure to go see Deshazo Falls it's well worth the twenty minute trip
As a part of my birthday celebration, I wanted a place to view and embrace the fall foliage in a serene setting- this park absolutely was the place!! Beautiful, quiet, peaceful, relaxing; all of the above! Can't wait to go again!
Great place to go check out nature and get some fresh air and walk around
