Nice Trails 8/19/2004

The nature trail here is a great place to walk, run, or go for a bike ride. It is very long and challenging due to numerous hills that run throughout. The best thing is that most of the trail is shaded which can be a great advantage on a hot summer day. Pros: Long trail, Nice scenary, Nice paved trail more

dog droppings 10/26/2003

Most of the time there are enough people on the paths that it feels safe for those (women) who like to run or walk solo. There are an abundance of ducks that are not very shy at all! Also it is really peaceful to rent a canoe (only $4) and paddle out to the middle of the lake and take it all in. more

Quiet escape 8/1/2002
