About This Trail

Imported description

It's good for bikes and baby strollers. It was a nice, wide, flat trail. There are benches and trash cans on the path. The fields are on one side and the woods are on the other. It is a good place to let your dog cool off. It's possible to park for 5 or 6 cars. A dog cleans up bags in a parking lot. It was well maintained and clean.
