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
Beautiful trail along a river !
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
The new shop, the Cedar House, has yoga and food. Their sandwiches are delish!
