    We rented a shelter house for graduation party, was nice and secluded! Grass could have used cutting but overall it was really nice with a bridge, access to fishing and trails! Good price!

    I really enjoy the park. Many different trails to walk and places to sit. It has a small waterfall, indian village, a little play area and a huge hollowed tree which is really cool.

    We enjoy participating in programs facilitated by Clark County Parks volunteers and employees. There's a good number of trails at this park, large fishing pond and a nature playground.

    This is a great park with lots of wonderful different things to see. It has a lot history, variety of scenic things and activities to do. The hiking trails were really nice, well maintained and well marked. You get to see a small waterfall, a pond, bridges, and the Rookery Romp play area was pretty cool. Highly recommend checking out this place, especially if you're in the area, you wont be disappointed.

    Good little park! Relatively clean and some good fishing for the family. I kayak here just to blow off some steam. Great trails!

    It was an absolutely lovely park to visit. There were plenty of places for picnics. The hiking trails were beautiful. They have a historic home on site that can be toured. The park also includes the peckowee battle site. This is a park I would recommend visiting.

    The Fair at New Boston is always fun. We look forward to it every year. We have some fun memories of my son and his friend getting conscripted into the newly formed US Navy one year, and all my kids being taken prison by a Native American tribe the next. We have so much watching the live action reenactments (the cannon fire scares the kids every time) and the amount of history learned from a fun family weekend. It is just sad that the Native American history and way of living isn't being portrayed anymore. We miss visiting and learning that part of our history, too.

    It was a great walk. Light and easy enough, I could hobble through even with a nerve damaged leg. I didn't warn my youngest about the trolls, and she absolutely loved them. I'd recommend it for a good lunchtime walk on a weekend. Most people should be ok covering most of it in an hour or so.

    Good place for a walk. Lots of loops, so you can scale how long your walk will be. Saw lots of folks fishing, so assume that's a good activity as well. Some road noise from the highway on the side closer to the road, but not terrible. Interesting recreated Native American village area. One star less for naming it after Clark based his exploits against the Shawnee and other tribes in the area (although he was also a leader in the Revolutionary War, focus at the park is on his pre-revolutionary efforts against Native American tribes) to include burning the villages and crops. He gets a big statue at the entrance, Tecumseh gets a smaller historical sign in the center of a parking loop. And yes, I realized it's a Clark County Park.

    This place is so beautiful and I love the hiking trails of this area. It doesn’t do it’s justice. I love the waterfall. I posted the waterfall video.

    Cool park! My sons really into learning about Native American right now promoting our visit and we ended up having a nice little hike and checked out all the reconstructed living areas and we really enjoyed it. There’s SO MUCH space for picnics, hiking, and if you drive or hike to the very back of the park there’s a lake where you’re able to get out and fish, relax, walk. Also very clean and unkept. Would visit again, as far as Native American sites there may be better locations but this one’s nice and can’t get more budget friendly than free lol.

    I've been going here since I was young. Nice spot for a quick hike with family, friends and/or kids. The pond is good for fishing and kayaking. I've also went and just had lunch at the picnic tables. Trail is relatively short in comparison to others but it's still a beautiful park. Pictured is the waterfall which is a nice place to stop and sit for a while. So relaxing.

    This is a very nice park with lots of short trails. Most of them are in the shade. You can go up to the dam to get a paper trail map and to use a porta-potty. There's a cool water fall here as well.

    It's a getaway from the city. It's far enough to enjoy nature and learn a thing or two. It's 9/10 clean but you know how it goes, always one. Enjoy the waterfall, fishing, and trails. Be respectful though, it's one of our nicest places in the county and we'd all like to keep it that way.

    Beautiful park & lake. Would be nice to have better hiking trail markers.

  • 5/5 Paula N. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice well maintained trails for all hiking skill levels. Pond you can fish from with a dock. Nature playground for kids. Visited on 10-9-22 to photograph a family, trees are starting to change colors. By next weekend they should be fully changed.

    The Boston Fair is hosted there annually. It is a historically re-enacted event that has wares, performances by story tellers, musicians, and more. It is a family atmosphere, but you can still have grub and pub.

  • 5/5 Tabitha R. 1 year ago on Google
    The fair at new Boston is always fun . Hats off to all those people who work so hard to be as authentic as possible. Had a surprisingly delicious cup of corn chowder. Who would have though corn chowder could have been that good. I will never hear or see corn chowder and not think of that cup ever again . Go if ya get a chance. ( Only bad down side the parking lot is waist high weeds and a million crickets and grasshoppers 🤢)

    There is so much history to this park. I only had time to check out the waterfall and lake area.
