Very nice walk through the woods We saw a black bear. There are a number of Creek crossings and places for a dog to get a drink. There is 378 feet of elevation in a little over 5 miles. Enjoy

Still a great trail. Has some storm damage but nothing unmanageable. New sign with actual distance of 5.3 miles for the whole loop or 3.6 with the shortcut. Can get very muddy so wear appropriate boots if it's been raining.

Nice trail, can choose to do a short mid or long hike. We chose the orange (mid) hike trail, but saw a black bear near the end and turned around to walk the long way back to the parking lot. It was an adventure indeed. You hike over a few small streams, nothing you can't step or hop over. All in all, it is a peaceful hike.

Fun & easy hikeable spot. Good for kids. Trail is nice, wide, and mild. Lots of creeks to wade in. Many trees to climb. Beautiful foliage to photograph. Would love to go back without the kids and try the whole trail.

Lovely hike with pups and kids but those 5 plus miles took a long time since we were exploring, taking pics, etc. We should have packed more snacks and water! All of us had a great time though and enjoyed many spots of water flow throughout.

Very easy, beautiful hiking trails. A total of 3 miles on the inner loop and 5 total for the outer loop. The trail is rather bumpy due to tree roots and rocks, so watch your step. It's muddy in some areas and had one shallow creek crossing, so wear appropriate shoes. Large field for outdoor activities, including picnic and grill areas. Public bathrooms are acceptable (though you may want to pack toilet paper just in case they are out). Tent camping is allowed. Mountain biking is allowed during winter months (October-April, I believe).

Lovely hike. We did 6 miles today. Many roots otherwise easy stepping. Walking bridges to cross creeks, very nice. Just a peaceful day.

We hiked this loop at night to see the fireflies. Gorgeous! The trail markers are a bit hard to see at night, so take a red light and a flashlight! Wear good hiking boots, there are some slippery spots.
