      Great trails

      Great trails. Short and Long. Some ups and downs. Have to watch for some tree stumps.

      Nice Hike

      This is a nice place to hike with your pooch. It has 2 trails (from this entrance). The "long trail" is a wide grass trail (well maintained with the grass being short). I didn't walk the whole thing. Only walked for about 20 mins on it and turned around. There is a "short trail" but it is a dirt trail, very steep inclined and declines. I walked it for about 5 mins and came to a log blocking the path and a drop.
