April 9, 2021Trail closed at Poor Creek for restoration - rerouted around Great trail through the woods Some sections along road
April 3, 2021Absolutely beautiful, the most beautiful place we've been in the area. I felt like I was walking through a Ghibli movie in places. HOWEVER, part of the trail is closed so you do have to take a detour, unfortunately. It cuts off a bit of the length of the trail.
March 22, 2021Trail is nice, but a good portion is still off limits. There is a connecting trail to cross back over
March 21, 2021Ok
March 15, 2021March 5, 2021February 6, 2021February 4, 2021February 2, 2021February 1, 2021Nice trail, the whole park is nice and the trail head/parking lot is shady with a pit toilet. I ride a poo maker and there aren't many places to ride that are as nice. The trail covers a lot of grass so there is nothing to make it obvious in spots but there are concrete markers with letters that refer to the trail map.
January 28, 2021January 24, 2021January 22, 2021January 20, 2021Such a peaceful place. I really enjoyed this little hike and look forward to getting back out and exploring the other trails. The only snag was that part of the trail was closed, so I had to switch things up a little, but it wasn’t too inconvenient.

November 14, 2020Nice trail
October 26, 2020Some portions closed due to flood damage. Somewhat easy to follow but loops with other trails not posted. All woods. Peaceful. Dogs apparently allowed.

September 6, 2020August 22, 2020April 19, 2020Nice kid friendly hike but lots of horses and their poop.
February 17, 2020April 21, 2019Most of the trail is good. there are currently several muddy spots that you can walk around. There is one portion that is closed because of eagle nesting (north part of trail).
March 23, 2019Lots of bugs in the summer but nice trail.
