“Ohio the Beautiful! This place has something for everyone! You choose the season! On this day it's November 1st and Mother Nature is giving! The perfect Autumn air, easy for breathing. The colorful leaves are a very nice touch for any real nature lover. Even though there are no pictures of the dam, you'll notice, I focused more on the landscape. There's a nice trail between the street and water that stretches a nice ”

“This is a pretty cool park with nicely maintained trails that are paved, so good even when itu2019s wet out. Itu2019s not the scale of the real Hoover Dam, but cool to see and watch for a few minutes. Itu2019s also very dog-friendly for those looking for a good place for walks.”

“This is a pretty cool experience if you're not sensitive to being high in the air. It's an easy, simple walk. You might want a light jacket because, of course, it's a little colder, especially since at the time of this review, we are on the tail end of winter. It's a beautiful area, though. There are also massive staircases for you to run/walk if you want some stairs exercise in.”

“Swallows and Sweeps munching up all the bugs on a very windy day! Such a beautiful view! Baby mallards, Great Blue Heron, and an unbelievable amount of bug-eating speed birds!”

“It is so peaceful. You will truly get your steps in walking across the dam. They have several walking trails. There is even a golf course. There is plenty of parking, a playground for the kids and tranquility to enjoy your time out there.”

“Great place to walk my pup! Along the beach, grassy trails, the dam, rain or shine! They even have a disc frisbee area. It is hard to get pictures of the great blue heron or gulls as they are fast and my mini is on the go tugging at the lead. Good fishing spots and kayaking area.”

“Beautiful place to visit, but sadly some people leave trash behind u2014 plastic bottles, wrappers, etc. Itu2019s like they donu2019t even care about harming nature. I saw a group of people (by their accent they sounded like they might be from the Somali community) dumping garbage in the woods. Letu2019s respect nature, other citizens, and the state for giving us these spaces.”
