Super nice trails. Small park but beautiful trees. Get a trail map as some trails have signs from only one direction.

Someone from my friends church recommended this place to them because they knew they loved to hike with me so my friend told me about it and we planned a trip to the area to see what it was like....

Definitely my favorite state park to walk not to big not too small close to home and bonus Melanie's is across the street when I'm finished to get a good meal!
