April 14, 2021muddy in some areas but overall good
April 12, 2021Easy short trail loop, gets real muddy in the springtime but only certain areas. Definitely a quick little hike with some decent views
April 11, 2021Super fun, gets very very muddy, wear proper shoes. Would not be suitable for kids as there are areas that are steep and have very small spaces to step.
April 2, 2021Extremely rocky, lots of tree roots, many sections flooded. It’s an exercise in trying not to trip. My ankles felt sore afterward. Not kid friendly at all.
March 20, 2021March 13, 2021Little muddy but overall a good hike
January 18, 2021January 13, 2021January 10, 2021Nice views. A bunch of muddy sections of trail. Wear decent shoes. Would be nice if you could do a full loop without having to walk on the street.
January 5, 2021On one hand the views and surrounding area are really pretty. However, more than likely you won't be able to see much as you'll spend the majority of the walk looking down navigating the copious amounts of mud, ice, and roots. If you want to enjoy this trail I'd say to try your best to avoid it at least a week after any snow or rain.

January 1, 2021This was a muddy mess!
December 30, 2020December 28, 2020December 24, 2020I would honestly give this trail five stars if it actually completed the loop. Instead, some idiot urban planner decided to fence off the last few hundred yards of the trail because it is next to a dam, forcing people to walk along a street that cars fly down like it’s their own personal raceway. There are no sidewalks and it is around a blind curve. You can literally see the parking lot where you start from the fence with the “No trespassing” sign, and it would be a very simple thing to put a foot bridge over the tiny part of the pond that feeds into the dam so that people can safely complete the loop, but NO, that is just too much to ask.

November 19, 2020this is a great way to spend an hour! this trail goes right around the lake, so you get beautiful views throughout! one section of the trail is a little steeper, but it’s fun!
November 14, 2020nice trail but portions have a lot of roots and fallen leaves are slippery
November 10, 2020November 9, 2020October 31, 2020Mark well in most places but not hard to follow the edge of the waterline. A lot of exposed roots so not good if not wearing proper ankle support shoe wear
October 30, 2020fuck u
October 25, 2020Did enjoy the red loop trail, but a portion 1/3 in was very rocky and not “easy”. Once past that area it was terrific. Two 75year olds did it!!!!! We
October 23, 2020October 11, 2020Lots of roots and glorious views.
