Such a great park for everyone to play in nature, a great trail for a walk of you want, and great access from multiple points when the weather gets truly spectacular! Lots of nature so be on the lookout for some of our wild friends all along the trail . Highly recommend a stroll and a splash along this route anytime of year (although fall is truly breathtaking)
