Cedar Cove - that little piece of Heaven - now closed to public

Cedar Cove is now closed to the public.

The popular swimming and fishing pond and gardens located three miles north of Ada on State Route 235 has been sold by Monty Siekerman.

For the past 14 years, Cedar Cove has played host to numerous garden clubs, Bible studies, birthday parties, and weddings.

During a hot summer, the land has drawn more than 10,000 people for swimming, fishing, Frisbee, or just plain relaxing...all free to those who wanted to visit.

The garden contains more than 250 varieties of trees and shrubs. The property has been described by many as "a little piece of Heaven" and "peaceful."
