Magical, absolutely beautiful... the best around ! Worth a drive !
One time I was here and just smelled a lot of dog waste on the path. And I have not been back since. Today was lovely with snow on the ground. Less trafficked than usual. With a good pair of waterproof winter boots, this place is an excellent choice for a wintery walk.
great trail for distance, not all cyclists and joggers announce themselves when coming from behind, otherwise I've loved it!
Holy shit!!! Did y’all see that tree covered in lantern flys!?!?!?!? Trail was beautiful on this nice foggy morning.
Good trail, it was muddy in some areas. Saw squirrels, frogs, snakes, birds, and more. I just wished it wrapped around instead of going back the same way.
