Fun day trip, but entry was kind of expensive at $14 a person for adults. Nice trails for hiking and biking. A bit over commercialized, with the extra fees for other attractions and a kind of cheesy gift shop with garden gnomes etc. Still a good break from the suburbs, plenty of trees, wildlife, etc, but even at the most remote locations you can still hear the sound of the cars and trucks on the highway and airplanes overhead so you're reminded that you're still completely surrounded by suburbs. Also there was quite a bit of poison ivy growing right along the edge of major trails, even creeping out into the walkway at points, so be careful about walking near the sides.
