Luckily there are no snakes if you stay in the cleared paths, saw some interesting lizards and an owl, good place for trail running, lots of spots to get a nice view

The stairs are quite steep so be careful, but the view from the top is worth it, really enjoyed the hike and the fresh air

We had a great family day out here, kids loved the playground and we all enjoyed the hike, there are picnic areas so we brought a picnic and had lunch next to the dam, highly recommend

Great place for camping, lots of space and it's quiet at night, nice to be away from the city and stare at the stars
