This is an ideal place for hikers, dog walking, bicycles (recommend knobby tires), and horses. Having walked the gravel trail, my gps tracked 2.7 mile circumference. I loved that this trail is not just flat, it gradually ascends and descends. I must have been on ninja stealth mode because as I turned a bend, I stumbled upon a deer not 10 ft away. Shocked, we both made eye contact and the deer took off running. Parking lot/starting point offers picnic tables, a modern canopy , and a single out house. Bring comfy shoes!

Lots of friendly people I've met here so far and it's great for all ages. You can walk the dogs around the park too. This is free so no one mandates the vaccines or pets but it works out fine for me. It's worth visiting and letting the pups play!
