Sun Jun 28 2020Great trail.
Tue Apr 21 2020Arbor Hills is very nice to visit. People of all ages and demographics come here to walk, jog, run, or mountain bike. Very dog friendly Very kid friendly Every now and then you’ll see a small family on civilian bikes on the paved path riding responsibly.. no dumb kids going crazy.. I can’t speak for the mountain bike trails cause it’s just not my thing but the paved paths and natural trails (yes this place has both) are very nice and a nice little escape for 30min - 3hrs depending on what all you wanna do not including additional laps. Leave no trace :)
Wed Apr 01 2020Muddy only in certain areas but an easy and peaceful hike! Lots of pretty greenery and wildflowers. The loop trail is located inside the main paved loop in case anyone else gets confused like me! Haha.
Wed Apr 01 2020Obviously got off the trail due to mud and some closed signs. Kept following other small trails until it looped me back, but it’s pretty, just a little too crowded for me. Will do again though!
Sun Feb 16 2020Mon Jan 27 2020Sat Jan 25 2020Tue Jan 14 2020I enjoyed the seclusion of the outer loop. Its is not so busy with foot traffic. Other parts of Arbor Hills are always active with people. There are more woods and fields involved with this trail.However, it was a little muddy in some parts of the trail.
Sat Jan 04 2020good inner city trail. some closures. took about an hour since we let the dogs play in the creek.
Wed Jan 01 2020Fun trail with a couple really pretty spots to get lost at near the creek. Bring water and take your time.
Sun Dec 22 2019Be mindful of the trail closings on the NE side.
Sun Dec 01 2019Sun Nov 17 2019great for the entire family to navigate and dog friendly.
Sun Nov 17 2019perfect trail for beginners and suitable for kids 8yrs and older as we saw many of this age on the hike. Some parts had roots and ruts but only for 15-20 steps at a time and no more than 5 or 6 spots. was dry but could be very muddy after a rain. leaves have fallen which provided a nice fall leaf trail!
Sun Nov 03 2019Nice, busy trail for hikers. I saw two police cars due to a car break in which was surprising for a seemingly safe neighborhood.
Mon Oct 07 2019Great trail that is easy to navigate and walk leisurely but allows for more experienced hikers to pick up the pace to get more of a workout in. The best part is along the creek beds. There are several spots to get off the trail and enjoy the seclusion and beauty.
Sun Jun 09 2019trails are not maintained at all. overgrowth everywhere.
Fri May 31 2019Parts of the outer loop are inaccessible due to erosion, suggested entry to the outer loop would be from the open field trail leg that continues into the Upland Forest habitat. Excellent trail in every other way!
Sat Apr 27 2019One of the best trails in the area. Today the hike was a bit muddy die to recent rain. Watch for erosion and unsteady ground when it's like this. The rocks are very slippery off trail. Enjoy the beautiful flowers alongside the trail!
Mon Apr 22 2019Hiked on 4-21-19. Beautiful trail with lots of wildflowers, big landscapes, winding woodsy areas. Great place considering how close it is to the city. The dogs loved it, too.
