Nice walk close to home .
Dog friendly.
I grew up on this land, it was sold to developer who couldn’t develop and eventually sold to the state. Huge amount of Indian artifacts have been found by our neighbor many decades ago, which we subsequently named the road we built after, Arrowhead rd. A little bit of everything is out there. Sand dune, swamp, brackish river, natural spring with a pond my grandfather excavated. Horse barn, Railroad tracks, tressel Bridge, gas lines, woods, fields, and an abundance of wildlife.
This is such a beautiful area! We had never been before. We went to a birding event there. Nice area to walk and take in nature. There is a beautiful area with a picnic table by the water too. Even our puppy loved it! We will definitely be visiting again.
A small area with easy trails that are cleared. One takes you right down to the river. Very peaceful.
It isn’t a house!!!! You’ll drive by and think “uh…why is this taking me into someone’s backyard?!” It isn’t.
The state bought the land.
There is a fenced-in yard to let your dog run wild, and then a lovely reminder to LEASH dogs while on the trail.
My body wasn’t up for much walking, but I wanted to scout out the local parks and this one is a keeper :-).
Not a ton of parking, and you do have a decent slant to go down to the trial, but the trails are wide, so you likely could take wheels here if you have an off-road wheelchair.
