We arrived in the North Parking lot at around 1. There was only one or two other cars. We decided to hike down the Trillium Trail, and on the way back, we took the Pipeline Connector trail and took Pipeline back. It was really scenic, especially with the warm but mild weather, and most of the mud had dried up. There were a lot of dragonflies on the connector trail which might be something to look out for. But overall, an absolutely gorgeous hike, in good condition with minimal elevation gain and lots of plant life to observe! Different trails are very clearly marked so it was easy to find our way back!
I went with my friends and we started the hike off by immediately taking the wrong turn, so we continued on to a different trail and honestly, i'm glad we took the wrong turn because we encountered beautiful scenery, cool plants, and gorgeous sunlight filtering through the trees. our hike was so beautiful and i would absolutely recommend going again.

We arrived in the North parking lot and didn't see too many people on a Tuesday afternoon. We planned to hike Collin Creek trail, but we turned the wrong way and ended up doing the 2.9 loop closest to the north entrance. But the trail is very well marked - there was a map at every intersection. The weather was nice, so it was very beautiful! The forest is serene and very green. The trail is also in very good condition, with only a couple muddy spots that we could easily go around. There were also some geocaches. We hiked about 3 miles, but since there are so many trail options you could easily go farther.
We arrived on a weekday afternoon at the North Parking lot (which is gravel) and it only had a few cars. The whole trip we only saw a few people, which was nice. The trail is marked at every junction with a map, which was a big help. The weather was warm and sunny and the trail was in great condition, with only a few muddy spots, which were slippery. There was only slight elevation gain, which is ideal if that is what you are looking for.
i took this hike with my friends and we took it on a sunny day. we started off the hike with immediately taking the wrong trial, but instead of backtracking, we took the trail further, and to be honest i'm glad we did, because we encountered some gorgeous scenery, cool plants, and even a nice geocache. i definetly recommend this hike and
