As many others have noted, this is a low-effort, high-beauty trail suitable for people of all ages. My only small caution, if you have small walkers in your party, is to be aware of some prickly and scratchy plants crowding in on some sections of the trail. But don't let that stop the kiddos from experiencing nature up close, they just need to keep an eye on the trail (OK, that can be challenging when there is so much to look at!).
In WTA's road directions, I don't understand their reference to a fork at 2.1 miles. There's an intersection there, but there is no fork on which to stay right. Also the wording suggests the bridge crossing is near this alleged fork, when it's another 3 miles along. Anyway, just stay on Middle Fork Road and you'll get there.
There are many raspberries approaching ripeness, and some already ripe, but most are shielded by a thicket of thorns. I recommend leaving them for the birds.
