This is one of the places we take the kids when we don’t feel like driving. There’s plenty to do wether you feel like hiking, fishing, cycling or free running through the ruins (the kids’ favorite activity).
The main trail system is on the parking lot side of the bridge. There is a .5 mile paved walking path and 9.25 miles of easy to moderate trails. Hikers are welcome on the trails but they are for mountain bikes so they ask that hikers give all bikes the right of way and remember to travel the opposite way of bike traffic. The directions differ depending on the day.
The schedule is as follows: Left or Clockwise on Mon, Wed, Fri, & Sun. Right or Counter-Clockwise Tues, Thurs, &Sat.
The trails to the ruins are across the bridge from the parking lot and even though they are open to mountain bikers they mostly see foot traffic. The ruins are considered unstable and there are warning signs so be careful. The trail continues upriver a while and offers many vantage points and places to fish. Dogs are also welcome in this park and on the trails!
