The trail follows the water edge which is scenic. Nothing special about this water hugging trail. The path is moderately cared Fitbit is well marked.
Generally decent hiking trails but way too short. All three trials we took that were listed a 4 miles plus dead-end at a body of water (the river) after 20 minutes of walking. Update your trail maps and signage please.
Took a short route so it was a breezy walk for the kids.nnMuddy and no signs of wildlife, but great spot for kids to enjoy being outside while learning teamwork and critical thinking.
I always appreciate a great trail and the outdoors are my church where I can commune with the universe. That being said, this is the first trail I have ever rated less than 4 stars. Perhaps it deserves 4 rather than 3, but I am a bit irritable today so I’m going with 3. First, I was not happy with the state of the parking lot. There were big piles of wood chips all over and in general the place looked uncared for. Second, the map sign was poorly marked, not adequately indicating the trail, leaving us to wander around for a good half hour before finding our way. At one point, the signage led us in a circle, at another, straight into the river. (Go to the left, trust me). Signage is critical as there is no cell phone reception in the parking lot (fun fact: I once read that route signage designers (like in an airport) have the most under appreciated job — not by me, I’ll tell you that!!). Third, the bathrooms were closed. ? . Fourth, the trail itself was kind of boring and for most of the three hour hike we could hear obnoxious alpha males rev their engines on the road nearby. The one upside (both literally and figuratively) is the workout you will get ... we did a 6 mile round trip hike and my jams are burning!
If you're looking for a long, secluded, hilly trail in Nova, this is the best spot. I've tried several trails in Nova since moving here a couple weeks ago and they were all too short, paved, busy or easy. I ran about 5 miles here, but the trail goes on forever. Will definitely be my favorite spot for trail running.
