Nicely maintained trails that are well marked. Managed to put together a six mile loop with some good ups and downs. It was moderately trafficked on a Friday, and I probably wouldn't hike on the weekend -- most of the trails also allow mountain bikes, and are too narrow to get out of the way in a hurry. The beach looked inviting!
I love how dense the forest is. There are many trails to choose from but somehow I still couldn't find the beach... Likely user error lol! Easy enough for kids but there's some nice parts where it's a good incline for some cardio! Not stroller friendly and there are always people who let their dogs off the leash. There are signs posted not to let them off.. there's so many dog parks in the area...I find it rude when random dogs come up to me while I'm hiking!!!
Fun
There are multiple trails that meet up about every quarter mile, it was like a choose your own adventure trail
