Jacob's Review:  The trails are very foresty with a lot of stepping stones and wooden bridges across the creeks. Walk slow and steady to make friends with the squirrels and other animals, but don't pet them cause if they bite you might have to get a shot!

Dad's Notes:  23 acres of wooded acres and lush green sculpted gardens nicely landscaped, full of palm trees and fish ponds, giant colorful goldfish swimming throughout the lily pond system.
     You will also find a nice nature trail that meanders down near the lake. Walk up some hills by small cliffs and across footbridges over the creek. Across stepping stones and wooden bridges over creeks and streams. The trails and gardens are all shaded and near the water, a very relaxing and impressive nature experience, year round!!!
     A bridal/wedding room available.
