I highly recommend forbidden drive. It has one the best hiking trails ever.

Great for a stroll but if you're a runner, be careful. Lots of falls & injuries here. Dense foliage retains humidity in summer. Beware of car break-ins; hide your stuff or lock it in the trunk.

Beautiful park where you can easily get a 10+ mile run in

Ricardo Seixas

Beautiful trail along a river !

Mike Robertson

Parking is best halfway up Bells Mill on the Ridge Ave side.

A ton a shade, it's a good way to beat the heat and sunburn in July and August. Read more
