- ErinSep 20, 2023Nice walk
The walkway was about 3 feet wide, made of dirt, pretty flat, and well covered with trees. There were a fair amount of people walking their dogs for a weekday afternoon in mid-September. Passing by one another is tight, so this may not be a great choice for a reactive dog. However, there were about 10 scenic lookouts (mostly marshland) where the walkway widens and you can pass at one of those. Not too many bugs. There were restrooms, but unfortunately no TP. We did not see any trash cans for dumping poop baggies, so be prepared to take it with you.

Beautiful and peaceful spot for a stroll. We were passing through on a rainy day but the tree cover kept us dry enough. very buggy so wear some spray.
