We arrived at the main TH at 9:30 and had no trouble finding spots in this large, gravel lot. We hiked two of the three loops today: Cougar and Trillium. The trails were in good shape overall, muddy throughout but easily navigable to avoid the mud. There were very few other hikers, but a number of trail runners passed us on both trails.
This trail system offers a peaceful, uncrowded opportunity to enjoy the woods in a serene and close-in setting. You forget how close to major urban areas you are when hiking these trails. In between loops, we detoured to the horse training area to have lunch on one of the many picnic tables there. We even had the pleasure of watching a horse training clinic in progress.
We totaled 6.4 miles with elevation gain of 400'. We'll be back!
