A secret garden, a picturesque brick walkway, and a reflection pool await visitors to the Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park. The park covers more than 1,000 acres and includes Lake Hall and Lake Overstreet. Two short nature trails lead hikers through the woods overlooking Lake Hall, where swimming and fishing are allowed. Visitors can also enjoy picnicking on the beach with grills and pavilions at hand. Children can play on a playground. A five-mile trail adjoins the park’s gardens and can be used as a biking, hiking, and equestrian trail.
