Beautiful paved trail that is perfect for bikers, joggers, and pedestrians. Make sure to reach the bridge that takes you across the reservoir . Has a lot of shade after the first stretch!

Spencer Hatfield

Scenery of water and oak. Paved and marked for distance. Mostly flat. Water tends to enhance the sun. Sunscreen recommend. Swarms of insects often over trail . Run w/ glasses & closed mouth.

Juston Payne

Beautiful place to run. It's 6 miles in one direction, there's never much congestion after the first mile , and no dogs to get in your way. Lovely views the whole path.

This place is BIG! And with trails with a lot of tree coverage, it's a good place to go when it's super sunny out. Also great place to picnic. Plan to spend some time as there is an entrance fee. - Suzy Coleman
