Reviews
As an out and back trail, you can just go as far as you're comfortable and turn back. Very little shade so highly recommend thin long shirts and pants to protect from the brutal sun. Bring a decent amount of water but temperature was pretty comfortable in mid-August. The trail is mostly sand/dirt so be prepared for your shoes and pants to get a layer of dust. The views when you get to the water / reservoir is quite nice though. Lots of parallel trails some which are easier than others so keep that in mind.
This has always been one of my favorite places to take a long walk, or if I ever feel like I want to take a hike there’s also trails for that. It’s mostly beautiful in the spring time when everything is so green but for the most part always a wonderful view. About a mile into it you come across a bridge with a river running below of course depending on the season you might enjoy the sound of it which sounds very relaxing something to enjoy mother nature on its finest.
I recommend this place. It's beautiful and tranquil. It's a great place to take pictures, hike, get in your steps, walk your dog or whatever exercise you want to get in.
