nice place to walk your dogs, you have a number of options if you want to go to the pasture or towards southern village

Went on Morgan Trail for a light walk but I ended up getting adventurous and continuing the Loop trail around the Pasture. It was a great way to start the weekend and you hardly run into other people. I'm so glad i live only a few minutes away from this haven.

Perfect place to walk the dog and watch the sunset! Parking lot is a little difficult to find.

If you know the area ie CH there is always a chance for copperhead sitings during summer ,fall.They are usually slow in cool weather,hiding under rocks,leafs!

The pasture and bike paths close at dusk. I don't know of any camping in town. The closest camping is probably Jordan Lake
