The good, the bad, and the buggy, a short review of the park.
The good things about this trail is that it's well maintained and easy to follow with no map or skill. Also I saw three white tail doe on the trail and one stood still while a family with young kids stood near by to take a look.
The bad thing about this trail is that the bathrooms are at other areas and there was a trail going in the wrong direction on the same side as the parking lot. I think it just led to a stream but you need to look for the sign across the road from parking to find the trail head.
The buggy I’m a bug’s favorite chew toy so how much did they love me? I wasn't bothered at all. I went in May.
