Relaxing easy hike.
A great walk, not to challenging.
Easy hike/walk. Some elevation gain but mostly flat. Wooded trails that are well maintained. Parking is limited.
Great hike with the kids to the peninsula.
Nice hike with some elevation and woods.
One of our favorite places to hike close to home and a good workout
Very nice trail with a couple nice fishing spots. Walk left at the boat launch and just follow the trail to the rope swing. Caught 3 northern pike on the log. Nice spot !!!!
The trail is well maintained and clearly marked. It offers sights of the pond and also the woods. I would call this hike a moderate only because some might find the small elevation gains a challenge, if you are looking for a just plain flat walk because of injury, stability, or what have you.... Those two points might be a challenge. With this said I was coming back from an injury and handled it fine. Personally I like the flats, but also the elevation as it helped to get me ready for the season of hiking.
I love the loop. It offers a bit of everything, for a small trail. I go back often.
