About This Trail

Imported description

The trail begins near the parking lot and goes down a creek. It passes a mill pond and a large rock outcropping. It is under heavy forest cover until the last part of the trail which leads into a meadow with an uphill towards the parking lot. The walk back to the parking lot has a play area with slides and climbing equipment. This is a great short hike for families with young children.
