Trails decently marked; worth the blue route hike that is about 3 miles and moderate in difficulty for all ages. Waterfall spur trail 0.2 miles and worth it if you are visiting when streams are full.

The issue I had was the north section of the loop. Once past the waterfall spur, the trail becomes very confusing in a few spots (if traveling N/NE). A few times I walked off the trail because the sun was right in my eyes and other times because it wasn't clearly marked. My advice? Just pay close attention. If you don't see a marked trail, stop, look, locate a blue paint mark before continuing.

Nice place short walk but Please take care of open park space. Take ALL garbage with you.

Great little spot, but could benefit from more frequent visits from the park rangers. People know carry out what you bring in yet they leave messes for other people to clean up and if you address the issue they get offensive.

Found this quiet little park because of some friends that frequent it. I take the kids to swim in the pond and have a picnic lunch.

The south end of the loop and the Salmon River trail are very clearly marked and fairly well maintained. Once again, just because it's fairly well maintained doesn't mean you can take a stroller; you can't.

Overall this was a fun hike and I plan on snowshoeing this later this winter

Great place to hike, nice falls and several cellar holes.

This is a great, moderate hike. By moderate I mean don't attempt to bring your stroller if you have young children. There are a couple different sections to the trails surrounding DPSP. The first is the "loop" and the second is the "point2point" to Comstock Covered Bridge (Salmon River Trail). Combining the two will equal about 7-8 miles (although I'll admit I wasn't tracking my mileage too closely).
