My favorite place for a long hike with the dog. Leash is required. Good trail options, meadow, forest, creek, ponds.

Great park, had a lot of trails to walk on, and the stream was really fun to cross via the rocks. There’s also huge rocks on top of a hill that feels really nice to lay on and chill.

Great easy trail with fall foliage and a stream. Easy with kids / dogs - stop by elder pine for a beer after (but don’t go there for food)
