Mudsock Trail

This is a nice little trail going past the dog park and through the woods up to Frank's Park. The crossing at Roberts Rd. is protected by flashing lights. There's lots of birds and you get a look at a couple ponds. The whole path is gravel. You'll see dog walkers and bikers.

Perfect trail for getting in a few miles of walking, running or biking. Good parking, well graded trail, convenient for travelers staying at the many nearby hotels.

Took my dogs and entered through the dog park, although the end of the trail is at the soccer field park and I could've just entered from there. The trail itself is mainly fine gravel/dirty with very little concrete. Mostly unshaded although the trees were bare so that may be different other times of the year. You will pass a few ponds and walk through some areas that are mostly trees. At the end near the soccer fields there's a concrete loops around the fields so I did the loop with my dogs and there's a playground. Despite not having rained for a few days, there were some rather large puddles and a lot of mud in those areas, so I'd expect to get muddy if it rained much in the past couple weeks. There will be people walking, dogs, and bikes as well. You do cross a road but it has a pedestrian button and the cars were good at stopping.

Nice dog friendly walking trail (biking too). The mudsock trail itself is pretty short, but hooks up with Spindler Park, Frank's Park & some longer trails through Hilliard. It is NOT paved and is mostly dirt/gravel, so it can get pretty muddy when it rains. Usually not very crowded. Parking available at Frank's Park, Spindler, or a few spaces where the trail meets Robert's Road.

Great trail! It's a decent distance to walk to the end and turn around. Sometimes there's a Porta potty near the dog park to use if needed. The trail along the pond/marsh is usually puddle and muddy, so I would suggest going the long way around at the fork to avoid the wet spots. The trail is kept well trimmed and is never overgrown, which makes it great for a short bike ride. It is a gravel path so Rollerblade and skateboards would not work. It crosses over a creek with a nice bridge and even crosses a road with a button activated light to make drivers aware of your crossing.
