Description
It is a short trail, but it covers a variety of terrain- singletrack, boardwalk, and paved path. You can hike a couple of different loops to get a longer journey if that is your desire. Visitors will also pass near a couple of ponds and cross over a creek. In the spring, this trail provides amazing views, due to the wonderful gardens that give their name to the park and the trail. There is a visitor's center if you need a bathroom or a drink. The park is also located not far from other amenities as well.
