Wonderful adventure hike with scenic spots along the way. I took my young kids and they managed the trail without problems. The parking area could use gravel but the overall experience was great!
I’ve been here a few times. It’s a nice quiet area where you can take a few hours to get away and enjoy a hike. During the Fall the Trees put on a show with all the different colors and if you visit during spring there is a water fall on the lower level.
Just like another reviewer said, the parking looks a little like you’re in someone yard, but there is a clear trailhead and the trails are really well marked! The whole thing is very well kept.
Beautiful nature trail practically in my own backyard. Hats off to those who maintain it. Some paths can get steep, so I recommend a walking stick, but there is a box of them free for anyone to use at the trail entrance!
Great hike!! Please note that the “road” into the parking is someone’s yard. I missed it the first time past. Trails are marked with blazes but not cleared well. Had fun with my husband and two young girls.
