Nice short loop and a longer loop. Map available at trail head and good historical marker / why paths were there. Watch wet leaves if you don't walk in woods often.

I don't think so the trails are primarily used for hiking and there aren't any good places to set up.

Best place for a bike ride ? Normal bike not dirt bike...
