3 years agoVery nice walking area with historic signage throughout the pathway. Not very long so great short hike for the little ones . Be careful however as there are no guard rails and someone not paying attention could possibly fall near the overlook. They have chairs near the overlook you can relax and take in the beauty of nature on a nice day. The entryway to the park is small as is the parking . Very few spots but wasn’t no one there when I visited. Look for a small sign to drive into the small parking lot and enjoy .

4 years agoWhat an amazing trail! Fully paved trail, easy, and about 0.8 long. Wonderful views! There are wooden chairs to relax and enjoy the view. The area has a group/picnic side with a large fireplace type of "stove". The is also a small amphitheater area to the side. No restroom.
