Beautiful. The Canal Trail and Park are incredible. We saw so much wildlife . Even an alligator enjoying the sunshine. Lots of trash and much around the dam. Clean public bathrooms at both end of the canal walk.

This is a great walk that is well maintained. There’s a misting station which is great if you came to workout or just when it’s really hot. The whole way is paved so you can easily bring a stroller or bikes. There’s lots of benches and tables along the way
