Black Hill Discovery Center

Dog Exercise Area was a large fenced in area with benches, but we were the only dog there. We hike the dirt path of Hamilton Trail. This trail has bridges, river, and trees everywhere for a shaded path. It was great to take a break from work and enjoy a hike day. We brought a picnic and our dogs. We also saw many animals at the lake.

What a wonderful park! Playground is great for all ages. Loved the infant swings & so did my little one. Restrooms are clean. Wish we would have discovered the park sooner. Would have spent a ton of time here over the summer. There's parks,trials, boat rentals, dog park.. you name it! And you can't beat the beautiful views. Such a stunning place

Went for a wonderful and easy hike around the lake at Black Hill. It wasn’t too busy so parking was easy. There were lots of people using the lake facilities which looked wonderful and we hope to use them on our next visit.
We even saw deers on our hike too!

Great place to bird watch. There is a telescope to look across the lake. Several small gardens, seating, and a balcony that wraps around the building, allowing you to take in different views. Kid friendly, and several things geared just towards children. Lots of paved and smooth unpaved trails near the water, perfect for walking a calm dog.

If you looking to have an amazing experience walking in a very open natural environment this is the right spot, good for picnic, biking there is also a mini museum.

Awesome park! It has a lake with boat rentals, pagodas you can rent, small park for kids, and all the green area you can want! Very clean and with even an animal “museum.”

Love this place. Not too crowded but even when there are a good number of people around there is plenty of parking. They have kayaks and paddle boards and more to take out on the lake. The lake is enormous and you have pretty decent visibility into the water too so you can see some fish and turtles in the water. They have both paved and dirt trails that ramble through the park. There is a good amount of wildlife around too--just on a short walk today I saw a ground hog, fox, several Chipmunks, rabbit and deer. I don't believe there is a fee to enter either.
