"A nice, leisurely trail, mostly flat and very well maintained. Would not attempt the whole trail in a wheelchair. The view of the lake (pond?) is nice. Beautiful tall trees."
"Really pretty area with a pretty easy walking trail. Also nice public restrooms."
"Easy trail. Great for beginners and small children. Saw a turtle, a chipmunk and an owl. The turtle was the only one that posed for pictures. Was disappointed by the various spots where people did not clean up after their dogs."
"Today was my first time on this trail. It's not a super scenic trail, especially considering we are at the very beginning of spring. There were a lot of people using the trail but there was plenty of room to spread out and get some solitude if you need it. I didn't see any signage saying how long the trail is or the estimated time to complete it, but it's possible I missed it. It took me probably 40 minutes, and that's including stopping to take some pics and also considering the fact I was pushing a stroller."
"It was good everything was maintained and cut down had a nice hiking trip with the family got to see some wild birds and butterflies the kids were really thrilled and happy"
