The park encompasses the 40-acre Lake Bennett, where you can rent a canoe, a pedal boat, or even a fishing boat, if you and your furry friend are so inclined.

On a hot day, you and your dog can choose to go swimming - just not at the swimming beach. There are several other shallow spots along the shore where you two can dip your toes. The lake was created in 1935 and named after Dr. Hugh H. Bennett, the first director of the U.S. Soil Conservation Service. Bring your own fishing pole, bait, and tackle if you plan to do some fishing. Visit the snack bar near the swimming beach if you get a little hungry.
Take the .5-mile Cabin Trail to visit the Woolly Cabin, constructed in 1882 by Martin Woolly.

In 1975, the cabin was moved from its original location less than a mile away.
