Visit Chesapeake, VAApril 26, 2012Launch your kayak here to catch a glimpse of bald eagles soaring through the treetops along the majestic Northwest River. It’s the perfect place for a quiet adventure through the wilderness.Upvote1Downvote- Ken D.May 27, 2013Canoe Rental $7 per 1 hr. Paddle Boats $5 per 1/2 hr. Park closes at 7:30pm, but last boat use is at 3pm and all boats must be in by 4pm!!! Don't get disappointed like we did today!

Orion PJanuary 13, 2012Note that the bridge is out across the lake on the Indian Creek trail. No signage on the trail itself. Only notice was on the back of the park map board.Upvote1Downvote- All bridges repaired! Great running loop to start at molly mitchell trail, then otter point, Indian Creek and finish at office, about 6 mi.UpvoteDownvote
Linda CApril 26, 2015Hiking trails are more like mud pits. First time hiking here, and I won't return. Too many other parks with much better trails.
