January 4, 2021Great rock structures.
January 3, 2021November 22, 2020September 22, 2020It is crazy the amount of trees down from here from the recent storm. That said, they are doing a great job of at least clearing the trail. There were some cool rock formations, stone walls, and a cave my kids enjoyed. An overall nice walk through the woods.
September 20, 2020Unable to complete trail due to downed trees but the 3 miles I did were nice and easy
August 18, 2020Great easy hike - suitable for small or large groups of all ages! Highly recommend if you just want to get out and go on a beautiful day outdoors.
August 12, 2020August 2, 2020Great trail but a TON of gnats! Bring your big spray!
August 2, 2020Lots of mosquitoes!!!!
July 26, 2020I would rate this trail as easy. It was very buggy. It’s a straight out and back trip and it is not very stressful. If it wasn’t for the bugs it would have been a pleasant walk in the woods
July 8, 2020This trail had a lot to offer with a very beautiful setting. While this was a down and back trail, it was also very easy to turn into a loop taking the red trail up and the white trail back. In fact the two trails intersect in a couple of places. The small brook was nice to look at and the trail starts and ends with a small pond. I will definitely return.
June 28, 2020June 6, 2020Beautiful trail with views perfect for beginners! We crushed 5 miles with the dog. Not a lot of water but great shade and cool rocks!!
May 27, 2020Great out and back trail for all ages! A few ups and downs but nothing major. Headed out for an 830 hike during COVID and did not see 1 other person along the way or even another car in the parking lot. Saw a ton of wildlife from birds to deer, frogs, snakes and chipmunks. Multiple trails in this area so doing a longer hike is always an option. Will definitely be back!
May 17, 2020This was a great hike! My friend and I went on the white trail and it was really nice. We did see some snakes but overall this hike was amazing!
May 3, 2020The red trail gets muddy since it’s by the creek
April 25, 2020April 22, 2020Fantastic! Challenging for me as a somewhat beginning biker but nothing too crazy. Lots of up and down. You feel like you are very far away from everything. Also not very heavily trafficked. Well marked. Some off leash dogs but I don’t mind. My dogs loved this trail. Just beautiful.
April 12, 2020Lots of up and down. Probable buggy in the warmer months
April 6, 2020An awesome trail with nice surprises along the way. A perfect amount of challenge.
