December 13, 2020Great hike for kids, lots of little ups and downs, short bridges and boardwalks. Shocking number of dog poop bags along the trail. Busy for a late afternoon buts it’s 45 degrees in Dec.
November 29, 2020November 27, 2020really nice trail...perfect way to work off that day after Thanksgiving feeling!
November 7, 2020Great trail to do with kids!
November 4, 2020October 27, 2020October 23, 2020October 11, 2020Nice family friendly trail! Nice overlook at the end.
October 8, 2020One of my favorite trails! Peaceful, gently rolling terrain and awesome view from the top.
September 27, 2020September 20, 2020September 19, 2020Really nice trail through the woods. Some semi-steep inclines up and down throughout, but mixed enough for it to still be relaxing. Like others said, many roots. Apparently it is used as a snowmobile trail in the winter! The overlook has a little bench and a beautiful view of the lake and mountains.bring your dog, but be sure to pick up after it. There was a lot not cleaned up while I was there.
September 11, 2020Short hike lots of roots and rocks but fairly easy overall
September 1, 2020Short, not too much elevation gain, great view - what’s not to like? The problem is that the trail is roots, roots an more roots. Likely not a big deal for most hikers, but for some older folks and/or anyone with a foot drop problem this is a major issue.
August 14, 2020A beautiful easy trail.
July 30, 2020July 20, 2020Great easy hike!

June 29, 2020Great shape and trail markings are good. Nice 2.5 mi trail run. Very little mud. I’ll be back.
June 24, 2020Great view from the overlook! Lots of shade on the trails and not a lengthy hike by any means. Easy to follow trail signs and a little muddy in some spots.
May 24, 2020Great quick and easy hike through a beautiful and varied forest to the overlook. Not too crowded even on a beautiful Sunday.
May 16, 2020It was muddy but pretty decent. I am glad I took the opportunity to check it out. I wish it had a map of the view like Mt Philo.
April 21, 2020Great Trail — super muddy. Loved the map at the beginning of the trial with little history included. A fun little adventure for our family!
