A lovely network of trails, some with elevation changes, but many easy flat hikes, too. Large paved parking area. Easy access to the trails from the parking lot. Reminds me of the carriage trails..... more

This is one of the better trails I've been on! It is gorgeous and very well kept. It is great for dogs as well. They provide maps at the beginning of the trail, which is helpful. There are bathrooms and water fountains at the head of the trail as well. I gave it 4 stars because I found the trail connections to be a tad confusing, even with the map. Overall, definitely a place to check out if you enjoy hiking!

Loved it here! The trails were marked the entire time. There were short trails and longer trails. There were easy trails a d more difficult trails. Great place to get a hike in!
