December 30, 2020December 28, 2020Scenic hiking loop with nice brooks. A good amount of people. The trails were slightly confusing since they were changing the colors supposedly. Some mud due to snow melt. Overall pretty enjoyable!
December 20, 2020Nice, pretty easy trail. Everything was clearly marked, and there’s still a lot of snow but it’s packed down well so my hiking boots were more than enough to handle it!
December 13, 2020kinda crowded. a little muddy and slippery rocks. trail got a little confusing to follow.
December 10, 2020November 25, 2020A good workout before the thanksgiving holiday. The trail is easy but fun
November 23, 2020This was a pretty good trail. Just wanted to do one not too long with my dog and this was perfect.
November 22, 2020Trails are being remarked so make sure you’re paying attention to the markers
November 18, 2020A little steep going up the main part but once you get on a trail it’s super easy. Lots of area to explore and alternate paths
November 16, 2020I did a lot more than the short inner loops. Good elevation gain. The blazes are vastly improved over prior years. Beware, the red trail is rocky. Lots of fun.
November 8, 2020November 8, 2020Cool. Gotta look down a lot but very pretty and doable! Def not hard at all. Easy abs chill and a nice shot of nature with a few dif terrains
November 6, 20205 miles, Rocky not too steep, beautiful Must come back next Oct as most trees are bare
October 11, 2020great trail. highly recommend poles for beginners or for those with weak ankles (like me....got a 2nd degree sprain)
October 7, 2020I like rocky trails, because I enjoy variation of terrain. But it’s not fun when you have to watch your feet every single step of the way to avoid twisting your ankles. Also, the entire top part of the trail you can hear lots of loud noise from some highway. Not my favorite.
October 3, 2020October 3, 2020September 22, 2020Great hike as always. Inner loop is definitely rockier than the outer, despite the short mileage.

July 18, 2020Fun trails, easy to moderate. You have your choice. Beautiful walk through the forest, and over some streams. You will go over some rocks and some boulders and you’ll get to go up a little in elevation. Easier trails are in the lower part of the park. Go there early as it gets busy during the day. Big parking lot that feels up quick.
July 13, 2020Horribly marked, we got very lost in the forest. There were snakes on the trail and we even saw a fox. There were no good views for it to have been so difficult and scary.
