I visited on a week day. The area is well kept when it comes to limiting trash as there are volunteers who care for the trails monthly. The trails have many uneven stairs but are reasonably marked with traik markers but they kind of all lead into each other around the reservoir. The spring itself is very refreshing and you markedly feel a difference in temperature as soon as you approach the water. So lovely. The reservoir is teaming with wildlife for fun exploration.
