Description
This is a lovely little trail along Davidson Mill Pond with great views and benches overlooking the water, as well. Plenty of fishing spots here, as well as places to stop and eat a picnic. Despite the beauty be ready for the very uneven terrain. The ground in spots is absolutely littered with rocks and exposed roots. If you have trouble with uneven terrain, I would pass on this one.
