Description
Crown Hill is a simple hike in the park. The park is used for biking, walking, running, fishing, and bird watching. Much of the outer loop is made up of dirt or gravel paths, but a large portion is paved concrete, which is good for strollers and all ages use. The views are spectacular for mountains, lake, and wildlife. Restrooms and water are available as well as two parking lots.
