This is a beautiful forest preserve with lots of different elevation. The hills are great for…read moredifferent types of activities to get your body moving. The paths are paved and well marked. The scenery at any type of year is also beautiful. Positives: Beautiful scenery; plenty of areas to park; bathrooms available but closed due to COVID; around busy streets so you are not alone in the middle of nowhere, busy; near a hospital Negatives: It crosses a lot of streets, I know that it's not easy building bridges over every street, but it does add concern for safety; not as many spots with benches to take a seat (not a big deal); part of the path runs along a busy street, which may be a bit dangerous for some areas It's a very pretty area and I enjoyed the path.

The good: -Easily accessible. Simply park your car by the…read moreequestrian parking and the trail starts right there. I'm sure there are other easy entries as well -Nice long trails for the good workout/run -Decent for biking -Good markers guiding you along the trail The bad: -Most of it is out in the open. Doesn't have that enclosed forest boulevard feel -Again, since it's open, it gets unbearable to walk after 11 due to the sun and heat -Wild grass growth all over the main trail path -Markers have no distance mentioned on them. That's just sad now.. -Lot of fake white stone gravel everywhere. Just why.. I've been to some good unpaved hikes in NC and none of them have this Decent trail overall but you're better off trying to find some other place. I need that nice cool natural forest feel, like the NC trails. If you know of any such place, let me know!!
