Itinerary:
We will have a moderately brisk hike to complete the loop in less than 2 hours. The rain should be gone by Friday, with temperatures in the lower 40s.

This trail rolls along the river for about two miles, then enters the woods, where we can choose between a number of intersecting trails. It's quite common to observe deer and other wildlife on these trails. In general, the trails are flat with some relatively easy uphill climbs, nothing with over a 150 foot elevation gain.


We'll meet in the parking lot at the very end of the entrance road.  Restrooms are available here.  


Dogs are welcome, but in accordance with park rules, they must be on a leash.
