This is a great short hike on easy terrain. If you're in the area, come out and enjoy this park. You can make the trip as log as you want. You can even enjoy some geocaching.
trails are good for kids and pets! mostly flat, very well marked, pretty scenery. I thought this hike was going to bore me at first but then I came upon a few hidden gems that really made it a calming experience. gets VERY busy though.
Beautiful day to be out, but very windy. We did the main trail out to the orange trail and then took the purple/white trail to the purple trail and then the main trail back. Ended up being about 3.5 miles. The orange trail went thru the marshes over a number of boardwalks. The purple/white trail was they the woods and much more shaded, along with 2 bird blinds overlooking the marshes. Trails are well marked and well maintained. Lots of families were out, but once on the marked trails, we ran into few folks.
ended our journey a little early due to the weather but a great walk all seasons
Awesome thru hike.. Highly recommend hiking this all on a rainy day to avoid heavy crowds.. There wasn’t one person on any of the trail’s which was fantastic!!
