    Great location with lots of on-leash dogs

    Gorgeous setting to walk you dog on-leash. There is signage at the trail head requiring it. Lots of wildlife and spots for your furry friend to check out the water. Definitely recommend.

    Great walk!

    Traveled here from CT for the day and it didnt disappoint. Great hike. With a great swimming spot. My pup enjoyed this very much. Very few people, passed 4 others on the trail. Mostly shaded as well.

    Lovely

    It's a great trail minus people with offleash dog's thst claim they are highly trained. One tried to hurt my smaller dog. We do have leash laws in this town. Respect it. The leash is for your dogs safety and other dogs. Also don't leave poop bags along the trail its gross.

    Nice, simple, beautiful but ...

    If you're like me and have a well trained dog that is great off leash, you're looking for a place where you can let them off the leash and start hiking. This place isn't really that. Most people keep their dogs on leash. So when we're walking, we're constantly putting on the leash when we get near someone with a dog, then taking the leash off once we pass. It's not that relaxing kind of hike that I would prefer. That said, there are two beautiful lakes (ponds?) where your dog can swim.

    My dog LOVES it here

    This is a great trail especially in early mornings. People do often leave their dogs poop in bags alongside the trail and one house located there loves to make you think there dogs are going to attack you but the electric fence keeps them inches from you! Other than that once you get further in it is great! Wonderful spot to see blue herings....
