“Good easy trail depending on which way you go there are multiple trails.”

Good easy trail depending on which way you go there are multiple trails. Also a good place to bring a RC Rock crawler it’s like an RC crawler playground.

Loved it here! Just the roads leading to the trails is a nice walk with your dog( especially if you have a reactive dog) I actually didn't even go on the trails just walked the different roads in the area ( was my first time there) trails are clearly marked, and very quiet just being surrounded by nature!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
