Description
Overall this is a decent trail, it just needs some cleaning up. Or if you're into a more "technical" trail that is 12 feet wide, like say you enjoy hiking down power line cuts, this might be right up your alley. The trail does follow a good line so I will give it that. If you like slogging through mud and sticks then this is your cup of tea. For the rest of us this trail could benefit by some volunteer hours clearing foot snags and maybe even a little dirt added to the swamp holes. After that, this would be right up there in the 4-star range as a short little hike!
