Description
The loop can be hiked in either direction, but this description follows the counterclockwise route. You can start from a couple of places, but as mapped here it begins from a dirt lot near the main entrance/exit to the park. For most of it's length the trail is clearly marked with posts and signs, so it's easy to stay on track. Whether you're out for a short dog walk or to hike the full loop, Soldiers Trail offers a peaceful, scenic escape without too much effort.
