Good to know
- Two off-leash options here: the fenced 1.8-acre dog park and a separate 0.3-mile off-leash loop trail.
- Other Rocky Fork trails (Beech Woodland, Bevelhymer, Millstone Connector) allow dogs but require a 6-ft leash.
- Park gates close seasonally (7 PM winter / 9 PM summer); grassy areas get muddy in the wet season.
