visited late March 2013. I entered the blue-blazed trail from the north end (Toelles Rd bridge) and found the trail was impassable after about 0.5 mi (the blazes lead into deep water in a flooded area). I found it impossible to detour because of thorns, mud, and random oxbows from previous river flooding and had to turn back. There is lots of quicksand-like muck. I am grateful that this space is open to the public but anybody expecting trails like Sleeping Giant is going to be severely disappointed. I would definitely not recommend this for family outings. Might be of interest to intrepid cross-country trekkers, just be sure to wear good boots, long pants and expect slow going as it is extremely overgrown and likely to be even more difficult in the warmer months.

The real trail is marked with light blue paint and starts on the right side about 100ft in from the entrance. The path is old and narrow with many obstacles. Bikes cannot traverse, intermediate difficulty for trail runners. This trail is not what you'd expect if you're looking for similarities from the larger parks (sleeping giant). Lots of fun if you don't mind difficulty in foot travel and the risk of getting a...

The highway is behind the benches and is very loud and...
