About Black Hill Regional Park

Black Hill Regional Park, run by Montgomery Parks, offers more than 2,000 acres for outdoor recreation and family gatherings. Visitors can enjoy lake views from picnic shelters, volleyball courts, playgrounds, and trails, or rent a canoe, kayak, or rowboat from Black Hill Boats and paddle the Black Hill Water Trail. The Discovery Center runs nature programs and interpretive tours, and the fishing pier is a popular spot for largemouth bass, catfish, bluegill, and crappie. Over 20 miles of hard and natural surface trails serve hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders. A half-acre dog park, a community garden, and an exercise station are also on site. Drones are not permitted, and dogs must stay leashed outside the dog park.
