"I wish there was some map showing what all the different trails lead to... otherwise, it's a really nice place. Walked around for a while inside the woods until we turned back around because we really didn't know where the trails were leading to. The kids' playground is really nice. Very well kept."

"I live 1/2 mile from this place, driven past it a million times, today decided to stop with the dogs, I only walked about a mile in but that mile was beautiful, easy marked trails some parts were open sky then led to covered canopy, can’t wait to explore more of this place"
