April 9, 2021AllTrails not correct - confusing (looks like they updated the trail!) Has fitness trail at start - not on AllTrails See map Dirt trail Noise from 295 Across from federal prison
March 30, 2021Good trail for an afternoon run. Lots of roots and some hills up and down. Great views of the river and a small creek that runs through the park. Fitness trail is just some 4x4 posts for stretching.

January 13, 2021It was a nice change of scenery. Very easy trail.
January 1, 2021Damp and cold; trail in good shape other than a few leafed-over areas

November 18, 2020November 2, 2020Brisk (+8- 1/2 mins.)
October 24, 2020October 23, 2020This trail was nice if you like the challenging, unimproved hike—like I do and there are some nice water views. The only downside is that you can hear the highway the whole way.
October 19, 2020Perfect temp, just a bit humid; overall, beautiful

May 31, 2020I love this trail with my dogs because most tend to shy away from it because of the prison. I usually hike it at least a few times a month.
May 27, 2020fun hike but very dense woods! bring LOTS of bug spray.
May 15, 2020You have a real feeling of isolation here. Difficult to see the growth. Views of the river are amazing tho. Trail not well marked
April 24, 2020Decent trail. The trail markers were a little confusing but we figured it out. Our kids (3, 5, 7) enjoyed it. Glad we went but it probably won’t make our list of favorite hikes. It is right next to a prison which is a little unnerving as you are driving to the trail head. The reality is you are probably safer with law enforcement right next to you.
April 18, 2020This is not an easy trail. It is moderate. Easy trails have paved walkways and there is no elevation they are flat. This Trail has moderate elevation and there are places where there's washout. If you are not 100% steady on your feet there are places where you could lose your footing. This trail is not for beginners.
