Lots of mud, bring a change of shoes, towel, or protective equipment if you don't want your car to get dirty!

A couple downed trees and still some parts you can’t hike due to construction but great local “secret” spot to hike.

Really nice trail. Mostly flat but challenging terrain under tree cover. If you come out the front half and extend into the tall grass, watch out for ticks.

Great trail to bring a stroller! I saw a lot of people with strollers and I could see why. Just a quick walk and we saw a lot of birds, a nice pond with fountains, and a turtle.
