3 stars because it’s only good for riding dirtbikes even tho it states no bikes I don’t really care because there is no where else to ride near here lots of little side trails to ride on and when it’s wet tons of mud as long as no one is parked up there you should be fine to go in just don’t disturb other people

What a disappointment. I have been looking for places to enjoy nature that are not the beach, but this “conservation area” is extremely misleading. It’s a logging trail. The trail is not well marked nor cleared. It is not scenic and you can hear traffic and train horns the whole walk. You can literally see traffic at one point in the walk. The only nice thing was we were the only ones on the trail, but I can definitely see why now. Will not be going back.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
