November 15, 2020Great fall hike
September 26, 2020Only half of the trail is accessible because the bridge has not been maintained and the “wet crossing” is a waist high ford through dirty river. Not safe as it stands today. I don’t write many 1 star reviews but attempted 3 trails here and completed none of them. I have, at this point, over 500 individual trails verified and this place contains the 3 worst, most poorly maintained, trails I have ever been on. Bonus is they charged us $12. We would have been better off throwing the money out the window and saving the time On the positive side, it is a certified arboretum, so if plants are your thing you might get some value. If hiking is your thing, avoid it.

June 3, 2020February 9, 2020Fair warning: they charge you 6 bucks per adult just to walk this trail. I wouldn't waste my time. I'm not paying to walk around in nature when I can do that for free literally everywhere else.
