November 29, 2020a pleasant and pretty little walk, perfectly still. Residential though.
November 12, 2020It’s 0.25 in and 0.25 out. Just short enough to go in your lunch break. It’s pretty. Cons: lots of rocks and roots hidden underneath leaves (I fell on my tush) , and stepped in dog poop.
October 24, 2020is as advertised, very short down and back not much to see
October 22, 2020Trail was hard to find with all the leaf and not mark to tell us where to go!

First to ReviewThis is a very short simple walk into nature; you won't get a workout here at all, but you will see nature in all it's beauty. The trail is NOT marked, but easy to follow. When you get to the end there is an "End of Trail" sign. Bring the kids.
