Justin Cochran:

"A wonderful winter hike. I would say a moderate trail. Woods and hills type terrain. At 25°, it was enough work to warm us up right outta our winter jackets. Maintained nicely. Could clearly see the trail, even with inches of snow still in the ground. Was not crowded. The few people we came across were very considerate and nice to meet. Even met an Irish Wolfhound named Walter!!"

"This is approximately 5-6.5 miles of family-friendly trails (if you walk every single trail and road within the Trust), and they are fairly straightforward Brown County hiking. Some moderate ups and downs in typical BC ravines. The trails are maintained well by the Sycamore Land Trust. Typically, there are other hikers or trail runners, but one can go good distances without encountering anyone else. In the spring and early summer, there are many ticks, so bug spray is necessary. Great place to spend a few hours."

"Beautiful loop trail. Ups and downs the hills but not hard at all. Passed only one other hiker."

"Good alternative to busy Brown County SP. Whole loop is 5 miles, but old service road cutting through and dividing loop in halves. Couple tracks saved in All Trails app. Enjoy."
