Hardwood Forest Loop

Dogs Off-leash

Although this loop trail is short, it is not without challenges. Several exposed roots and step-downs make this trail tougher when damp or seven slightly wet. Hiking the trail in the clockwise direction will give you the most downhill fun with the more gradual uphill climb back to the main parking lot.

Hiking in the counter-clockwise direction will provide a challenging climb with several roots that one must hop over in some spots to get to the top. In about the middle of the trail, there is a wood bridge that can be very, very slippery when damp or wet.
