It's a nice place to go around and explore on your own. Holding the paper map in hand it feels like a treasure hunt event. It's beautifully maintained, the sheds and houses are in great condition. Washrooms are clean, could be cleaner...maybe. You'll find some restaurants inside, I tried one near the river. Their food was delicious and hygienic ❤️ and u also get a beautiful view to enjoy your meal.
