5 months agoWildflower Trail is a very easy walk with great scenery. Wagon Trail is a little more challenging but not bad. Water Line Trail is challenging because of all of the rocks. Alm House Trail is a little steeper but still not bad.

5 months agoThe parking lot at this entrance is small and located in a neighborhood, but it is still an excellent entrance for a walk. There is a map with information at the start of the trail. It's a beautiful well-shaded path with lots of nature. Even though there are benches, we found the boulders throughout to be more comfortable. This path is dog-friendly, but not ideal for wheelchairs or people with mobility issues due to the uneven terrain.
