My self and my 17 year old daughter visited on a Friday morning in August. Simply beautiful!! We both enjoyed walking around the different landscaped areas. The grounds are huge!! Lots of walking, enjoying the hardscape, plants, flowers, even suprise wild life throughout! The buildings are also beautiful, showing there aged character. The mansion is breathtaking. Everything is so well kept, with very little signs of insect's in the gardens. We were on a time restraint, I still feel we were able to see, and walk through completely in 2 1/2 hours. However I wish we had more time.

We stopped at this park before we went to dinner. We walked thru it's a great park lots of places to sit and watch the boaters, kayakers and people watch. There were these really nice huge black iron swings to sit on and enjoy the water however they all need a bit of WD40 they all squeak pretty loudly. There was a walking path, a playground, a gazebo you can sit have lunch or dinner, a small roped off beach for swimmers, a boat launch, and great views of the lake. It was very peaceful and serene, a nice place to have ice cream after you purchase it across the street. We walked the length of it and just enjoyed the breeze and fresh air I'm sure its also a great place to watch the sunset. We enjoyed our time there and there was plenty of free parking everywhere in the area. A great place for a picnic next to the water on a beautiful summer day or night. Nice to look at the water from the surrounding restaurants as well.
