December 30, 2020December 29, 2020Great trail, got alittle off track, but still enjoyed the journey. Was alittle muddy in certain areas on trails, but not horribly.
December 27, 2020It was lit and adventurous but a lil muddy and icy ;)

December 13, 2020December 12, 2020Moderately busy, nice, easy trail with few rock out cropping to break it up.
December 12, 2020November 27, 2020Beautiful and nice!
November 22, 2020November 21, 2020Wonderful park with a lot to see. We liked how one side was rough country and the other side was a nice smooth paved walk way.
November 14, 2020Such an amazing hike! First time here and will definitely be back!
November 13, 2020November 8, 2020November 8, 2020Trails were greats (I want to the slightly harder tails but were very easy). Lots of friendly people along the trails. My dog and I walk for about an hour and had a blast. The reason this didn't 5-stars, parking. To find a place to park proved to be the most difficult part of the whole trip. I'll go again for sure.
November 8, 2020November 7, 2020November 7, 2020S’okay. Lots of people and dogs. Beautiful scenery in the morning.
November 6, 2020The main trail in the park ( Forbidden Drive) is a well kept and wide trail. There are many benches to sit on and admire the scenery. The view of the creek is beautiful. Great for walking, jogging or bike riding. The trail is flat and easy . There are other trails that vary in difficulty that branch off of the main trail. I highly recommend this park.
October 27, 2020The trail that’s laid out here is GREAT for hiking (lots of variety in terms of gravel vs dirt vs rocks/climbs). However, if you’re biking (like I was), it’s not so great. Unless you are a biker who’s super experience with lots of rocks and roots, these trails will be tough since most of the parts that make this route fun are very narrow. Right now, there are also a number of trees down, completely blocking the small trails. Super fun to climb over when hiking, not so much when you’re having to carry your bike with you. I ended up doing a variation of the loop, and only half of it because the smaller trails were very difficult, if not impossible, on my bike. I’ll definitely be back to simply hike this loop, but biking was tricky! Either way, a nice loop overall, but something to be aware of.
