This site of a defense station that was planned to have anti-naval vessal guns to protect the area against possible invasion in World War 2 have been converted into a beautiful state park.
The water access is perfect for kayaking, the trails are great for going on a walk, with or without your dogs; and if you want to go camping this park provides you with places to do so.
To enter you will need a Discover Pass or pay for a day pass to the park, camping also has a fee. The visitor station also sells water or ice creams if you didn't come prepared for when the park gets hot during the summer.
Nice area with beach and forest access. Plenty of picnic tables, with easy trails to follow. Also the restrooms were clean. Very nice interpretive trail at the beginning of the park.
Nice little park but not a ton to do. We spent about an hour hiking a loop trail. The campground looked nice, also beach access in 2 places. See video of park on YouTube channel "Explore Your World Today".
The best short loop hike.
Clean restrooms, nice camp ground
