Beautiful spot, short walk. Looping grassy wide trails around a body of water.

Tick warning! Beautiful reclaimed habitat for birds and wildlife, but also, unfortunately, ticks. The trails are old grass-covered dirt roads and when we were there in June there were dog ticks everywhere waiting on the top of grasses. After picking off a dozen or more each we cut our hike short.
