One of two parks in Upper Hamlin, Victory Township Park is more secluded than Wilson Hill Park and offers more privacy. Take the long, winding tree-lined road into the park and enjoy the beauty of this region. Once into the park, you’ll find picnic tables, grills, a pavilion, and a port-a-potty.
When visiting Upper Hamlin Lake, you’ll find that Wilson Hill Park is quite the popular place. You can enjoy a picnic at one of the tables under a covered pavilion, with grills available for use.

Long Skinny Park is located on Lower Hamlin Lake between the South and Middle bayous. Perfect for fishing or taking in the view. This park is just as the name suggests…long and skinny with a few picnic tables and benches.
