What reviewers say elsewhere

• “Great trail, very rugged with some nice hills and flat spots also, the mosquitoes can be a bit much especially around the water areas so be prepared for that”

  — Shadow's Review, August 9, 2026 · google

• “I really like this place. Gets a bit overgrown, but that's nature for ya. Diverse flora and fauna. Lake/swamp out there.”

  — David Schultz, July 16, 2026 · google

• “It was obviously a place for hiking and we came looking for picnic tables (the web said it had a picnic area, but it didn't.) It had a few benches and a few blackberries. The hiking trails looked nice.”
