Gorgeous Walking Trail. The Environment is so peaceful and calming. I love coming here for spiritual relaxation, meditation, grounding, earthing, steam releasement, walking exercise, and mindfulness practice too. Another great thing is that this place has two pathways to it ~ the left one which leads to the waterfall, and the right one that leads to a creek. Plus, The Walking trail wraps around the whole forest. So yeah, love coming here every other week. Issue : I absolutely hate the smokers that come here and ruin the peaceful environment along with the fresh air. How am I supposed to enjoy the fresh air and peaceful quiet environment with the smokers and loud music players who come here? So irritating. But aside from that, great walking trail all in all.

What a magical experience! You forget that you’re even near the city for a few hours. These trails are great for hiking and walking. Most trails don’t have specific markers so you might get lost. Bring a snack and some water if you plan to spend a few hours here. It’s awesome for a weekend date idea, just be prepared to sweat a bit. I can’t wait to explore again.

Didn't get to go far; forgot I had another appointment during the day. I hiked about a half mile with the children before I had to leave. It's beautiful. I'm going back this weekend and taking fall pictures.
