on the trail

Wander the many winding trails through the forest first. Along the way, you’ll see numbered wooden markers at the trail junctions. They don’t follow any particular path—and the map doesn’t show every trail—so pay attention to your progress to help find your way back. If you get turned around and lose your whereabouts, just head for the sound of the road. 

In addition to being a great location for dog walkers and families with kids, the park has some moderate elevation in a few spots that makes it attractive to mountain bikers. Be alert for bikers along the trail and move to the side to let them pass.
