One of the park’s most notable features, though, is its artesian well, which dispenses pure, natural spring water. Make sure to bring some jugs and head over to the fill house to stock up on some spring water.

The park’s perks also include an 18-hole golf course and a natural hardwood forest – both of which are brimming with colorful foliage in the fall.
