"Literally got lost. I'd stay on the trails .."

"Nice location. I had my kids with me so we didn’t make it too far in but the part we did see was nice. Only complaint is not about the location but the people visiting. There were so many dog poop bags left by the sign and other parts of the trail. Take it with you when you leave! What’s the point of bagging it up if you’re just going to leave it. Most of it was left by the sign just inside the area (included photo of how gross people are to leave their litter/waste) and it would be so easy to just take it with you at that point."

"The trail Is about 4 miles from start to finish from the parking lot and back. The trail is marked by red signs on trees which you can follow but just in case I had my phone. The trail was swampy in a few places but it was nice anyways. The cool thing is that We saw a big deer half way but I soon as it saw us it ran away. Definitely will be back and highly recommend the trail."

"Spacious walking trails with little traffic. Big parking lot. No bathrooms or picnic area. Some side trails were flooded."

"Amazing spot to have a walk. The trail is pretty well indicated with red and white dots on trees. Its about half on half when with shade when the suns up. It felt really great having the entire ppace to ourselfs, we only ran into 2 other couples, one halfway and one when we got back to the car. The entire walk is about 3.7 Miles. We got lucky and spotted a snake but before i could get a pic he slithered away into the shrubbery."
