January 20, 2021January 10, 2021Lived nearby and always enjoyed a stroll in the woods. Quiet and beautiful!
January 10, 2021December 15, 2020wonderful easy stroll through the woods, along a serene lake, and over marshes with plenty of ducks, geese, and heron. a neighborhood gem perfect for any level for a taste of nature in the middle of suburbia.
December 13, 2020Nice park. A few areas for children to play. Really nice seat swing.
December 6, 2020Lots of traffic on weekends, did a couple of loops around the lake, enjoyed the wooded area and "wetlands" part. The rest of the trail is paved and busy, just like a regular city park. It would make a nice 45 min stroll for the whole family to walk that dinner off or take a dog out.
November 26, 2020Pretty clear, muddy spots so unexpectedly sloppy in some places.
November 23, 2020Perfect, easy walk in the woods.
November 17, 2020Beautiful park!!! Wide trail allows plenty of distancing. Easy walk.
November 13, 2020For the most part it was easy, some parts were narrow and muddy but all around a nice easy walk in the woods.
November 7, 2020November 3, 2020October 22, 2020September 23, 2020I love this trail for mountain biking. Most people use this trails for hiking, but it’s a really good trail for get some conditions into the mountain bike again.
September 13, 2020September 9, 2020Great!
August 23, 2020Nice trail. Good for a quick walk in the woods.
July 12, 2020Nice urban trail to take dogs. We went about 8:30 and by the time we left it was getting a lot more crowded. Everyone social distancing, lightly traveled at the time we arrived. Some roots and dips in the path, but the tree canopy is worth it. I’m pretty apt to trip, so I just had to watch the path - came through it like a champ. It’s super close to us, so we will definitely revisit.
July 4, 2020Nice for a short walk but trail and lake needs some attention.
June 13, 2020First inner city hike while tracking route with AllTrails. Area was peaceful enough though most of North Fork Nancy Creek looks like it had dried up long ago.Saw kids playing in the water but with all the sewer manholes throughout the area I would not think it wise to let my child in the water.
June 6, 2020May 29, 2020Bit muddy from the rain on the unpaved trail. Lots of people out fishing, several walking around. Great outdoors escape inside the city.
May 1, 2020Basic loop around a lake.
April 25, 2020Well maintained. Beautiful man made pond/lake. Great for families.
