"It’s a lovely gem of a park full of natural and calming scenes. I’ve had the pleasure of hiking through these lands for over a decade. Be good people and don’t pollute, if you see trash pick it up it’s what I do to try to help in what little way I can. I’ve been lucky enough to see many animals like the wise bobcat and have gotten to take out-of-towners to this place and they’ve been impressed. During the hot season it’s rough out there don’t do battle with nature bring water least you become delusional."

"Nice hiking trail but try to avoid the sunny days in summer, no shadow… find a snake on the trail enjoying the sunshine"

"Great hiking with many levels of easy, moderate or hard. Great views. Small parking area and no fee."

"This is a very scenic hiking place. I had a great time hiking here with my family. There are lots of trees on the trails. We also found a few well maintained picnic areas. The hike is not very steep and can easily be done by most of us. Because we went in spring time we got a chance to get lots of pictures which were worth capturing. On a sunny Sunday the hike wasn't very crowded."

"Beautiful trails, moderate elevation gain. May not be great for summer hike as most places are open without any shade. It would perfect for winter hike."
