Comments: Brought my visiting aunt and uncle here since they enjoy the outdoors and nature. The interpretive trail is very interesting and provides an opportunity to attach a name and description to plants and animals one often sees in this part of the country but may not notice. The portion of the trails near the creek are well shaded and offer some relief from the Sun, though the upper trails are more exposed.
