Quick Facts

Wheelchair Accessible, Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits

In 1923, Al Young relocated his sawmill to the marshy area near Moose that today we call Sawmill Ponds. He produced lumber for buildings in the area. Today these wetlands are home to moose and many other species such as waterfowl and beaver. Dawn and dusk are the best time to look for wildlife, but you may catch a glimpse during the heat of the day.

Name Origin

Al Young operated a sawmill near the spring-fed beaver pond until establishment of the park in 1929.
