Gorgeous gem of a walking trail that offers a leisurely paved trail through the woods. There are moments where you can walk across stepping stones to get over the river. Besides the areas with stepping stones, this path is great for individuals with mobility limitations, with strollers or small children. There is free street parking available.

Nice, pleasant and well maintained. Few places have sewer access points and they stink. There is a kids play area and grill area with couple of seatings around the park. Trail connects to Holmes run and have a flat tar road trail as well as off road trail. Fall update: nice and vibrant colors

There's a beautiful nature walk that is paved and in good condition, no real tripping hazards. If you stay on the paved path. We got to see a great blue heron. There's a nice pond and plenty of bullfrogs to listen to. We saw a turtle. Very enjoyable walk, nearly the entire walk is in the shade as well.
