This is a large park, with a lot of interesting features. They have a fenced in dog park, space observatory, swimming, fishing, playing fields, a nature center, and a wildlife preserve with trails. Apparently this used to be an airport which was given to the parks department, and they are letting some parts of it get […]
The parking lot was full, so we shot this location from afar. We were here at 11am on a Monday and you can see how crowded it is already. This is a very popular beach, and they have large parking lots and a lot of in town parking, but it is pretty hectic. It seems […]
There is a small roped swim area with a sand beach, though people were swimming outside of the marked area. They have picnic sites with grills, and a beautiful rustic pavilion that you can rent.

The swimming area is large, with a sand beach and tannic water. There are tennis courts and a playground are available, and the facilities are well maintained. […]
This is the fanciest state park that we have seen, and it feels more like an estate or resort. They have a golf course, an equestrian center with rentals, and lovely facilities. There is a large sand beach with multiple lifeguards, and pretty views. http://www.riparks.com/Locations/LocationGoddard.html
The park was very crowded during our visit, but we were here on Father’s Day. The amount of picnic tables and shelters indicate that it might be popular in general though, so arriving early would be wise. There is a large swimming area with double lifeguard stands and a sand beach. The park also has […]

They have a large sand beach, and a swimming area with jade green water. The water had some organic debris, but was fairly clear. The photographs on their website show the water being much clearer, so we could have been there at a weird time. There are also hiking trails and kayak rentals available. […]
