February 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.

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.
October 22, 2020Spooky
October 7, 2020It's gorgeous with pleasant smells.
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.
November 26, 2018Trail is not as well or clearly-marked as All Trails would make it seem. Make sure you print out a map or something. The park doesn't have any useful maps posted near trailheads or any explanation of what any of the trail markings mean.
May 8, 2018Nice trail. Very easy and wide enough for a vehicle. hiked entire trail at moderate pace in less than 2 hours.

First to ReviewNice trail but I got irritated with the poor mapping. Even talked to some employees that said some of the older side trails aren’t listed on the maps that All Trails has as well as online & the printed maps. Not a good idea if you ask me, especially someone who can’t figure out their directions (I don’t have a problem with this) Pay attention to your tree markers & you’ll be okay. If going with your dog bring water, there isn’t much on the trail, especially if it hasn’t rained recently.
