This place was really fun to explore. There are numerous trails that run off the loop trail, so if you want to, you can really hang here for a long time. It rained heavily the day before and with the sloped landscape here, there was a great deal of mud. This was a highlight for my kids! They love to stomp, splash and pounce in the mucky mud. They are like most kids, Pepper Pig fans!

We followed the map in All Trails but also explored around a bit since my kids love to be spontaneous. We found a rusty car, several ducks, a few small water falls, bike jumps, puddingstone rocks, several dogs, little bridges and of course a decent sized body of water. There was also a short story book walk on Franklin the turtle and his Halloween adventure close by to a fenced-in soccer field.

The grounds appear to be well maintained with a trash bin close to the soccer field and minimal trash found while on the trails. The people we met were pleasant and friendly. Many dogs were off leashes which I don’t mind, but if you do, just be aware of that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Skinny:

• Weather :  A  nice dry day ideally because it is a outdoor location
• Parking and Admissions : FREE admissions and parking but you may park in a grassy lot
• Location : All Trails says this is a 1.1 mile easy loop trail.  It is a great area for hikers, joggers, and bikers. I imagine, the routes here are really fun for bikers due to the slopes and jumps I saw also the number of bikers on the day we went.  Like I previously mentioned though, if you want more trails, you can come here as there are many leading off the main loop.
• Hours : Sunrise to sunset everyday
• Duration : We stayed here a bit over 2 hours but we sat for a while and ate and had 3 curious kids with us.  We could have stayed longer, the littlest guy needed to nap.
• Tips and Recommendations :  Be wary of the mud with the low lying lands especially if it rains.  Wear boots!  Watch out for the many bikers or better yet join them if you are skilled enough!  ( I couldn’t do that with my young kids but I hope to when they get older-it looks like a blast! )  This is a very dog friendly area.  It is supposed to be for leashed dogs only but that just isn’t the case.  (The dogs we met were very friendly and excited to go for a dip in the water. )
