March 21, 2021February 27, 2021February 21, 2021January 30, 2021a good trail for
January 24, 2021January 23, 2021It was a gorgeous day! The trail was great and not very crowded, especially for such a nice Saturday. The trail was in pretty good condition in my humble, new hiker opinion.
December 28, 2020December 27, 2020December 20, 2020November 30, 2020November 29, 2020The map of this trail is not correct. It tells you to stray from the actual trail and walk down Hwy N to Hwy 59 back to the trailhead. I completed the correct route but was not awarded with a certified hike because of the error.
November 27, 2020November 8, 2020November 3, 2020Very easy trail. Mostly flat, smooth and in open prairies.
October 28, 2020Beautiful day along a nice trail.
October 26, 2020Hiked it this past Saturday. Great condition. Beautiful EASY hike!
October 15, 2020October 15, 2020October 9, 2020Nice hike overall. Pretty flat, met a few people along the way
October 3, 2020Well marked and well maintained. Flat & rolling gentle hike. Minimal easy assents. Mixture of prairie, hardwood and pine forest, marsh and boardwalk sections. Great vistas at the overlook point!
September 27, 2020Why does map route follow roads for 2.5 miles? Trail is in woods. Should be updated
September 24, 2020September 20, 2020Straight forward trail. Although the path the app tells you and the actual path of the Eagle segment are a bit different. There is little road walking and there are trails that’s weave past the busy roads. Follow the yellow markers and you should be good. This trail also includes the Stoney Ridge segment for some reason.
September 20, 2020Hiking and horse trails
