Betz-Tiger Point Preserve

Decided to explore Pumpkin Hill and headed to Betz - Preserve. I noticed a kayak launch and took a right turn to see how serviceable it was. It's really nice!It's an easy, and short, walk to put your kayak in the water and the river looks pretty easy to navigate.I didn't kayak, I just wanted to hangout by the water. There are picnic tables with a nice view of the river and you can also do the hiking trails that are just a few hundred feet further down the road. The kayak launch only has a porta potty but if you drive past the launch there's a full blown bathroom area near the hiking trails.It's a nice area to hangout.

Half of me wants to give this zero stars so people stay away because this is my favorite hidden spot! This is a great place to put in your kayak for easy entrance into seven creeks, or take a nice walk along the water. be sure to prepare for ticks and chiggers before entering the park. They are torrential out there.

We decided to hike hammock trail to tiger point trail. It's a nice enough trail, but a little over .5 mile in I noticed a tick on my dog. Gross, but ok I will just brush it off. Then I notice another, then another! We decided then we needed to turn around and head back. When we finally made it back to our car and paved roads, we had to pull SO many ticks off our poor boy. I have never seen so many ticks in my life! I would not recommend to anyone unless you are a fan of ticks in general!

Plenty of trails to explore. Personally I found the trails easy enough and would had probably enjoyed it more biking vs walking. I also found a tick on my pants once I left the park, I wasn't thrilled about that.
