    Very easy walk

    I would not consider this a hike. We were there on a Saturday afternoon and it was very busy, but still plenty of room for them

    Great Hike

    Took our new puppy on this hike and while she’s an active dog this wasn’t too challenging for her in my opinion. She handled it like a champ and everyone was friendly. Bring pool bags and be prepared to hold the bag the whole way though. There are no trash cans throughout the hike
