January 25, 2021Grey because it is January but a nice trail
January 24, 2021Well paved. Not well marked. No animals
January 17, 2021Super easy trail. Nice if you’re in the mood for something simple in nature and easy to get to. Probably best Spring-Fall since you’re surrounded by trees and don’t get any elevation. The trail was muddy but most mud was easy to avoid because the trail is wide and maintained. You never get too far from the surrounding road. The nature center has parking and restrooms.
January 16, 2021This was as muddy as you'd expect and close to the road at times but also a nice, well marked set of paths. Easy to take a satisfying walk.
