Great day for a hike.
Perfect place for hiking or a quick bath in the river. A perfect 5k round trip. We go all the time with the kids.
Such a beautiful light hiking trail. Nature surrounds you everywhere you would forget you are right off such a central busy and residential area. The river is beautiful and looks very clean. Lots of wildlife to enjoy and quirky little hidden trails amongst main trails ie: Butterfly garden, Honey Bee garden and Compost garden. Great place to take kids! and even have a picnic under a large gazebo with tables.
Gorgeous and quiet place to walk by yourself, with your dog, or with friends and family. I’ve seen beautiful wildlife here, such as owls, hawks, eagles, cardinals and deer.
very pretty Trail that whines along a creek which is a trickle at sometime and expand to a damned waterway at others. Nicely maintained except for one point where a huge tree has fallen across the trail and you have to go up and down a steep incline on a dirt path to get around it. There is definitely a lot of up-and-down on this trail, it is a hike.
