Fountainhead Regional Park

Went on a whim as a weekend trail hike destination and ended up renting a boat and spending the day on the lake. Prices are super reasonable and they offer tackle and bait, sunscreen and extras and lunch options as well as boat rentals. Boat rentals include canoes, kayaks and John boats with the option to also rent a trolling motor so you don't have to paddle. The prices are super reasonable. We spent about $80 for the John boat rentals with the trolling motor, sunscreen (we expected to trail hike so didn't bring it) and lunch for myself, my fiance and our three year old. Life jackets are provided with the boats and you can stay out on the lake until 5pm when boats need to be returned. We spontaneously decided to rent a boat instead of hiking and went out around 3pm with the trolling motor and it still felt like we spent a ton of time on the lake. The dock wrapped around the visitors center has holes drilled in the railing for fishing poles and fishing is encouraged (I will definitely be bringing my daughter here for fishing as well as doing the trails we never got to) and they sell tackle and bait at the shop. It's a nice big lake and in the two hours we were out we still didn't get to explore all of it. We are super excited to revisit and plan to bring family and friends next time. I would recommend this to anyone who loves the outdoors, fishing and boating and it's absolutely stunning with all the fall foliage! Such a gorgeous hidden gem with super reasonable prices. Parking is great and the visitor center has full restrooms while the hiking trail entrance has porta potties (one of which is disability friendly) in the parking lot. Would recommend 10/10.

Beautiful park with challenging hiking trails, fishing spots and a spot where you can rent kayaks. We love this place and frequent it often in every season.

Excellent Kayak launch destination with miles of nature to explore and beautiful views. There are also Mountain Biking trails and Hiking trails that appear to be frequented, but I have not ventured those trails yet.

Beautiful lake that I had no idea existed. Rented a kayak. Was so easy. Highly recommend. Will be frequenting in the future.

There was a lot going on when I was there. They had a hiking event going on, and a mountain bike race going on. It was a beautiful day and a friend, and I hiked two miles enjoying the scenery.
