March 20, 2021Enjoyed the trail. Very pretty walking along the creek.
February 26, 2021Magical, absolutely beautiful... the best around ! Worth a drive !
February 14, 2021One 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.
January 17, 2021January 2, 2021Really nice trail! It was super muddy after a full day of rain, but it made for a muddy good time. Pretty views along the river, keep an eye out for hunters. Will be back!
January 2, 2021Visited on New Years Day 2021.. Great view, easy terrain. Following the blue blazes was easy, trail marked clearly. You can really sense the care and maintenance done on the trail.

June 13, 2020very nice easy walk just be careful of the rocks. Nice bench to rest on with beautiful view of creek
June 6, 2020Good 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.
April 6, 2020Very nice trail, lots of bikers though if you are into that rather than walking!
