Very well taken care of in the winter! Super pretty and easy to walk :)
I’m a beginner hiker. It was a very easy trail to follow. The lake was pretty disappointing cause it was so nasty. The waterfall was nice to see but I would love to come and see it after a rainfall, as there was not much water “falling”. It was about 1.5 miles and took me about 45 min, even with stopping. I would definitely hike this trail again.
Trail was nice. Didn’t walk the entire loop because the waterfall was dry. Figured I would come back after some rain.
Serve rap different type of ground to walk. Bark, bridges, plank, asphalt, gravel, some dirt
So super beautiful and amazing pond and lily pads with a surprise waterfall! You can see fish in the water if you have sunglasses and the trail is largely mulched, plank board or rocks and we managed easily without our all-terrain double stroller. Great family adventure! Wher nature center currently closed and they do ask for 3.50$ donation with a pay drop box our front of center.
This was a beautiful trail! Be sure to bring a camera for lots of photo ops! The trail was easy to follow and very flat.
The trail is in great shape, lots of woodchips, bridges, flowers and a few butterflies! We also saw ducks and a frog on the pond. Great hike!
