Description
Once you have reached the trailhead, follow the trail east to the forest in the distance. Trail is entirely packed dirt or grass. There are two paths in the forest: one going north, the other south. The southern trail is a loop that leads you trough the heart of the forest and then back along the banks of the Miami River. In periods of heavy rain this can be flooded. The northern trail goes along the river and leads to Honey Creek Park if you follow it far enough. All told, there is approximately 1.25 miles of trail in the woods. There are several different paths back to the parking lot, but for variety, we recommend the one that cuts through the center of the meadow.
History & Background
This trail was recently converted to a multi-use trail and those on horseback having the right-of-way. However, horseback riders are rare on the trail.
