Overview

Beautiful loop through a lush forest. There is plenty of shade along the way, making this trail a perfect place to escape the summer heat. An great loop for a quick hike or run.

Description

This trail is very popular, and the parking lot can fill up. It is recommended to arrive early or come during the week. The trail can be muddy after a storm, so sturdy footwear is recommended.
