Trail Notes:
The trail that is open to equestrians is the trail around Sunfish Lake. It's not a long trail, but is
pretty and scenic. It goes through forest, fields and even a small prairie. It's slightly hilly, but
nothing strenuous. The trail corridor is easy to follow with a few downed trees to negotiate,
but nothing too hazardous. This urban trail has a lot of houses around, as well as, a lot of
people in the park.
