March 20, 2021Beautiful day. Surprised at few people on trail. Had to cut it short but the few miles I did were beautiful
March 7, 2021Beautiful park, easy trails (but watch for roots) and babbling brooks. What else does one need!

June 10, 2019The trails aren’t terrible but the markings are. Someone could get lost thinking they’re on a 4 mile loop and end up going 8 miles.
February 28, 2019I hike this trail regularly and yesterday we were able to do some of the center trails with the new markers and new signs clearly marking paths. The roads are also re-graveled and clear. Big improvements!
December 29, 2018The trail shown above is not the complete bike trail. There are separate bike trails, horse trails, hiking trails, and a dirt access road. It can be confusing with all the trail intersections and no maps. I have mapped out the bike trails as an inner and outer loop being 8.4 miles. The trail above only reflects the outer bike loop. There are also some private horse trails that link in from some stables to the south.
December 8, 2018NEAT AND SCENIC TRAIL! MY DOG JACKSON AND I BOTH LOVED IT!
October 20, 2018Had some hang time in Newberry and took advantage of this gem of a trail. Want to come back with Mountain bike!
September 25, 2018Today was a great hike. I like to take the trail backwards as it provides a little more challenge than flat and downhill. There are several trees down both in the forest and across the road ,so it is closed for cars at this time.
August 27, 2018I’ve always loved this loop. Mile 1 is a fun in and out two mile trek. I stick to the gravel loop, when we were younger we got lost in the wooden trails. Nice like hike with the 30lb babe in the ergo.
August 26, 2018Great, heavily wooded trail. Very quiet. Nice place. Pretty hilly in a few spots.
June 6, 2018May 8, 2018lower half of the main trail (the road). Then the trail in the back that leads to a lake. then took one of the hiking trails back (the one thats behind the picnic area) to the parking lot.
February 6, 2017This is a great place for exercise. they have a 4 mile gravel loop trail that you can drive, walk, horseback ect. throught. I really like it beacause I was able to take the stroller when my kids where younger. My dog loves it too! The lower side of the trail (the first two miles) has a creek running along it and is my favorite part of the walk. There are also foot trails throughout the main loop. ...Long story short take the family they'll love it.
July 27, 2015This was a fairly disappointing outing. The trails are lightly traveled and not marked well, at all! I tried to follow a track and found myself constantly ending up on the gravel roads. Eventually I found an entry point and made my way through but decided to cut my hike short and make my way back to the car. This area has loads of potential if someone would take the time to mark the trails and clear up the blowdowns. Otherwise, I could see someone getting lost in here.
June 15, 2014A beautiful forest area with lots of wildlife. However .... way to many trails packed into a small area. The trails are poorly marked and run all over themselves making walking a designated route very difficult.
