3 months agoIt's alright but it's definitely the worst of the preserves around the area. It's right next to a very busy stretch of highway. You can only enter it from the Western bound side and it can be sketchy on the hill. The preserve itself is small. I come here to mountain bike sometimes and do every trail in about 30 minutes total. It's alright though and can be pretty when the flowers are blooming
