Trail Notes:
Trail is not difficult. It goes through both woods and fields, not many hills, but it does
cross creeks in a few places. Good place to take a new rider or a horse in training.
Later in the summer, it gets overgrown and poison ivy and bugs become more of a
problem. The creek crossing that is northwest of the trailhead lot is kind of rough.
