Description
The area is close to developments so it is fairly well-traveled by people who live in the surrounding area. It is very popular for mountain bikers especially. Many paths are blazed just for bikes. The landscape is not very dynamic. It mostly consists of hardwoods like oaks. The prominent feature is a pond. There are a few streams, although not as many as you might expect. On the other hand, it is a relatively dry set of trails that are mostly running along hills and ridges. The trails are well marked and fairly easy to follow..
