Nicely maintained trails. However there are several dog owners who do not have a handle on there dogs. So if you are okay with your dog meeting other dogs then it is a great trail but if you aren't avoid this trail.

This is a great trail for an easy hike at the edge of town. There’s usually enough parking and the bathrooms are very nice. On the day I went, It was hot at 4 PM. I would definitely recommend Hiking earlier or later in the day as there is no shade on this trail. That was totally operator error on my part.
