An important thing to note is that the moment you reach there, you see a parking lot which is pretty small and holds only about 25 cars. When I arrived there, I saw that the people parking had parked haphazardly and as a result, parking spaces had gone for a waste. I drove back as I didn't have parking space and when I got back after 30 mins, I found some spots luckily. I am glad I returned; else I would have missed one of the most beautiful trails ever. When I started walking in the trail path, i noticed that there was another parking lot inside that could hold another 25 cars. A few suggestions to the authorities maintaining this trailhead - 1. Please mark parking spaces to avoid people parking haphazardly. 2. Please mention in the 1st parking lot that there is a 2nd parking lot inside, at the start of the trailhead. 3. The road to the second parking lot had two potholes. Please fix it. One can expect both smooth and rocky terrains. Some inclines may be difficult for beginners but easy for hikers. Trail routes are marked with a yellow badge on trees. There are multiple trails and are mostly foot trails.

Nice trails, not too busy or remote. Easy park and walk in. Pretty water features and fall foliage on display!
