Description
This is a nice peaceful route which can be quite busy on the weekends. Along the gently rolling paths, there's lots of greenery to admire as the route is almost entirely shaded. The route has some water features like a view of the river, a winding creek, and some low-lying marshy areas. The park features a series of loops, and this route takes you around three of the most mild ones. You'll start on the appropriately named Gateway Trail, and then will continue on to the Preparation Loop. By this time you should be feeling "prepped" to take on the Wilderness Loop. Once you've finished up the Wilderness Loop, you'll make your way back to the parking area. Keep an eye out or use the Mobile App, because trails are not well marked.
