Hike Details:
Park Station Recreation Center sits high on top of a hill, and scenic views abound. It was constructed in 1979 to improve local soil and water resources. The center-piece is the 100-acre lake  with an island at its center, which offers a leisurely and quiet-water paddle. Â
After the paddle, we have the option of hiking in the surrounding hills which are crisscrossed with a 6.2 mile network of hiking trails.
