Beautiful walk in the spring! The cross country trails were wide enough for our bike trailer (which we used as a stroller).
Had a hell of a walk through here the other day with the crew. We got back to the river and got a look at a beaver making a dam. I don’t know if there was anything more peaceful than watching the nature here in the winter.
Nice trails but watch out for the nesting hawk!! She is NOT playing around 😳 She dive bombed and chased me for quite a ways. I had to run and wave a stick around 😆Not going on that particular trail for awhile!
This was a beautiful place to take my dogs for an outing. Lots of trees to provide good shade as we walked. The bike trails are kinda narrow but there is a larger trail that seems to cut through and leads right to the river.
Wonderful place for a hike. Dog friendly. There’s some plant species here that you don’t get to see in the city. Rich cedar swamp. River access from the trails. There are biking trails too. Lots of recreation types welcome here. Second time here and I’ll definitely be coming back when it’s warmer.
