  • There is not much left of this Ranch, but you can easily imagine a family living there. It would be a nice level hike for families with small children.

  • This area of the park is unique because it has non native trees, water, and shade. Wildlife is suppose to be abundant here, and I am sure it is in the summer, but in late December we did not see any.....  more

  • Short easy walk to keep the blood circulating. Love old metal water pump windmills. My grandparents had one. Loved the twirling sound and the water was always the best.
  • I love to see the working windmill and the older non working windmill. Great shade tree by the windmill. It would have been a good lunch spot, only a little ways off the road. Easy trail but well worth a stop.
