Bridle Trails State Park — Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2025

I did the Coyote Trail which was a 3.5 mile roundtrip. The trail was in good condition and wasn't muddy, though some parts had horse poop so its important to look where you are stepping. It was nice to see horses. I even saw someone riding a horse, which was really cool. It took around 1 and a half hours, and wasn't super hard. It's great for beginner hikers or families since there isn't much elevation gain. It also wasn't very crowded and the trail was pretty wide, making it easy to go past people. At some points there were forks without trail markers telling you which way to go and that made it a little confusing. I recommend taking a picture of the map at the start and keeping track of your position using the trail markers so you can stay on the trail you intended to. Overall it was a great hike, especially to enjoy with families if you don't want something super strenuous.
