Great easy hiking trails well marked with plenty of distance to hike but not much variety in the terrain. I was told there was a bear feeding on a carcass so I avoided that particular trail. Never saw a bear. Darn it.

This is a very nice easy to get to hike for people that want a mellow Hill climb. There are no amazing views, but it is a very nice place and very close to town, I will definitely be going back.

Such a nice place so close to the neighborhood for families to access. Of course there are people who don’t follow the dog leash rule which would be nice for people that do. Trail is kept well and very lovely! Nice bench added and great to have a restroom. Thank you
