May 12 ok park
park review stars; one to five The park is great, close to the river. One can swim and get a ride up the river with your canoe. It is to shallow for a motor boats. Across the river there are some bold eagles. It is very close to the road so during the day you hear the cars but at nigh there aren?t many cars going by so it is quiet. The park raingear eric is an evil man and should not be allowed to run the park.
