Hidden Hollow is a 52 acre park built by Arda Lee in 1945, he opened it to the public in 1970. He had a vision and a dream, but no money to build his dream with. He was often seen bumming items, thus leading to a manmade park.

This man-made wonderland is highlighted by natural waterfalls, covered bridges, lakes, and canals and offers a variety of recreational activities including swimming, hiking, fishing, and picnicking.Hidden hollow also has many deer and duck that you can pet as well as feed.


The park also offers putt putt and fishing for all ages.

Arda passed on in 2004,park is now owned by Vince and Amanda Taylor.
