Great short trail for walks with large dogs that need leash training entering off Knollwood. Our huskies take about ten minutes to get acclimated to the walk. Training would have been great had we have done early on but busy schedules negates that. All shaded and runs high above a creek below and you can get back to your car quick by going back up steps. Two loops, 20 minutes walking non briskly with pretty rock stairs with.a landing halfway to catch ur breath.

The playground and sports areas are ideal for kids of all ages. This is truly a nice place to get away while not being far from home. Make your own...
