Good spot to hike lot of variation and up and down trails. Would rate on the border of easy and moderate. Great views next to water. Clearly marked blue blazes. Would rate 5 stars but heard multiple gun shots in middle of day next to trail off by someone’s red house by trail.

This was a great find! We were able to hike the blue trail in about an hour and 15 minutes. It had some nice inclines and declines but nothing two 60 year olds couldn’t handle. Lovely trail next to the river.

Al Hartman

Great place to take the dog not paved at all completely natural trail going through the woods. Would proceed with caution as there is an active gun range to the southeast. You will be safe, but I feel it’s best to know it’s there.

Hiking this trail felt like teleporting to the PNW. A true hidden gem. Worth the 30 minute drive north from Grand Rapids.

We didn’t get very far after we saw 2 snakes one was getting sun on a tree log which didn’t bother me, but the other was slithering on a train track that you had to walk passed and then it disappeared. We went on July 4th and made it 300 feet before we turned around. We will try again when the weather is cooler and the snakes should be dormant. You wouldn’t know that a trail was there because the sign is past the parking lot and even then you think you’re going the wrong way until you see a blue marking. Not a poisonous snake, but we didn’t want to be surprised and step on one.
