The trail was a good work out with the husband and kids. I would say that the trail is moderate in most parts but difficult in others due to slippery rocks in the path. We saw a lot of toads which made the kids excited. The reason I only gave three stars is because there is way too much poison ivy on the trail. I know this trail is maintained by volunteers; however it was really stressful to watch my kids not be able to maneuver around the copious amounts of ivy everywhere. The trail needs to be widened/weeded in many spots because it has almost grown shut with poison ivy and other vegetation. Just wear long pants when you go until it is cleaned up. I will not return until the poison ivy has died back...

If you start at the Dennis Road parking area the hike to the first stream is moderate. If you proceed up the steep slope on the other side of the stream and continue along the ridge, you will likely find it...
