Location and Parking

More details

I've read that Greenwood was the county's first park and while it is a little off the beaten path, it is popular, particularly in the summer when swimming is open. They also offer paddle-boat and canoe rentals. They have about 50 camping sites. In winter, groomed trails for cross country skiing and snowshoeing are available. There are rental and access fees. These are some of the best cross country trails around.

The multi-purpose trails cover over six miles. A mix of level trails around the lake and slightly steeper trails climb the woods to the north and west. Most trails are wide enough to walk two-across. In general, the trails are in good shape without tripping hazards. Fall does bring migrating Canada Geese and their mess as they settle in the lake area.
