About This Trail

Imported description

The trail is a little washed out from recent rains and there is one small part where you will have to walk through an inch or 2 deep water. If you park at the trail head and go west, you will have to walk on the road until you get to the equestrian parking, which is not too far away. The water is nice right now, so make sure you check out the beach and take a dip. The best bug spray you can use is definitely arm yourself with it.
