We loved our visit to Lake Crabtree. We visited to see the sunset. You can view from many spots across the water. There is pier for fishing. There is a spot from which you can rent boats. There is a volleyball court and a large grassy area. There are two parking areas. The first has a small pebbly surface. We were on a motorcycle so not great. The second parking lot is for the pier and is paved. Public restrooms are available. There is a small building that you can climb to second story for another view of the lake. Highly recommend this park. It is truly beautiful and well cared for.
This is a wonderful place. Beautiful lake, lots of space for a picnic, grills, gazebos, tables. Several playgrounds. A small but beautiful beach with boat rentals. Lots of parking. There is a net for volleyball. I have been there several times, including on weekends, but there are always not many people, it is very comfortable to relax. Only one drawback is the snakes, you have to be careful. Thanks to the staff for keeping order in this park. I definitely recommend it!
Beatuiful park! Lots of trails for hiking. The fall foilage is beautiful there. Lots of trails from soil, concrete, and grass. They have lots of benches for sitting area and parking spots. It's not too crowded and always a great place to relax by the water.
finally visited this park and had pleasant experience there. It’s a great place for family, couples, friends, or even just solitude moment. The paved trails is maintained well and view of the lake is superb! They offer lots of activities like kayaking, boat, fishing, picnic, bicycling, etc. Personally, loved this spot for catching the sunset, it’s stunning!
Beautiful scenery especially at sunset. Nice walking area, sandy volleyball court, mini beach, green grassy area, picnic tables and pier.
