Description
This area features many shady, wooded areas, in addition to open prairie and creekside paths. This route is mostly crushed limestone, so the trail usually stays pretty dry, even after a period of wet weather. There are some terrain changes and hills to make the hike interesting. This trail is an especially good spot for wildlife sightings. Water spigots and washrooms are available at the trailhead.
