Visit in the spring when water is flowing. It's magical in the spring. Not so much in the fall. Nice, well maintained trails.

From the pictures Google looked really great at first appearance. Deciding to make the 30 mile trip there on arrival was told that this is a private community and not able to go to the trail because I do not live in the community. What a bummer
