Bill Jamaca

A great trail. The upper part is paved, the lower is improved dirt.

Jacquelyn Sells

I pulled in and parked. Walked the trail then left. The parking lot is a bit small for the amount of people who use the trail. At many times there are no spaces available but there are many parking possibilities close to the area. They have poop bags and trash receptacles at the parking lot. The trail is well used so it’s usually a social event as well as good exercise.

Great trail easy for anyone.

Ralph Dias

Very convenient small parking lot at the trailhead. It was nearly full on Saturday morning though.

Vincent Miller

Lots of broken window glass in parking lot don’t recommend this trail entrance. Screaming homeless guy verbally attacking female walking on trail on 4/12/2023.
