Reviews
"I was healing from a calf muscle injury so we chose an easier trail. It was a good breath of fresh air, a nice little hike, and there was some great things to see."
"Another nice trail! Loved the little waterfall that was tucked away. Water was very serene. Parking spot was small so you’d have to get there first but not many people were there so we were good."
"So far this is one of my favorite hikes in the area . Plenty of parking (but can be slightly difficult to find) look for the small park preserve sign (I have attached a photo leaving the park- look for that sign). Family & dog friendly . Moderate to easy hike . Spectacular fall foliage . Well marked and maintained trails . Most people wearing masks . This place is beautiful and offers plenty of room to explore . Highly recommend ."
"Lovely hike, about 2.5 miles with all the side trails. I’d say generally easy but some moderate due to the tree roots and some steep inclines. The side trails were all well marked but the blazes upon entering the main trail were missing and I did overshoot the turnoff. I had to wait and see people coming up the hill so I knew where to go. Gorgeous trees and little streams, and about 1,000 chipmunks. Not crowded at all, saw about 5 people total when I was there."
