Its nice, peaceful. Lots of roots.Lots of birds, chipmunks, saw a small snake.Well marked. Except the arrow at the end of the loop says Richardson ave and parking lot. You have to walk on Richardson Ave to get back to the parking lot. Where in reality if you stay straight at that arrow, it takes you directly back to the parking lot.

I hike here often with my pup. There are two trails, the blue trail is about a mile long, and the red trail is about a half mile long. If you go after a rain the trail will be very muddy. Give it a few days to dry out and it is a fabulous place to walk. Many of the boggy areas have been covered over with boardwalks. If you do not want to wind up walking on the road for the last 200 yards, when the blue signs tell you to turn left to go back to the parking lot, turn right and follow the red path to where it will meet the blue path again and then go left.

Nice walking trail about a mile long, blue marker trail, boardwalks and interesting ‘shrooms along the trail.

I come here for a nice walk with my leashed dogs. It's a small loop with 2 paths. Wont take you long and you cannot get lost.
