If you're looking for beautiful nature walk and you've only got an hour to hike - this is it! 'You get your bang for your buck' - there's a decent incline and decline, a beautiful view of the pond, and the stillness of nature. It's around an hour drive from the Memphis area, an easy drive east on Highway 72, and perfect for an afternoon outing. The trail is easy to find off of Highway 72. 5-10 minutes into the trail there is a slight incline and decline and you see your first glimpse of the pond. The 'official' trail goes to the right, up the man made steps and across a ridge overlooking the pond (make sure you check out the purple sand from the Memphis Acquifer while you're on the steps!). You can follow that trail for maybe 10 or so more minutes before you encounter signs of the Tornado from 2015 - many fallen trees. You can continue and make your way down towards the end of the pond as it trickles towards the Wolf River. My hiking partner and I also went back around - back to the first spot where you see the pond and continued to the left and you can almost reach the same spot where the pond feeds into what (I imagine) ends up being the Wolf River. Absolutely gorgeous! Highly Recommended!

If you're an adventurous type looking for a little break from the highway and a place to walk your dog, this was a great stop. There is a parking lot with signage and a pretty clearly used trail. If You're expecting a City boardwalk and groomed path, this is not what you will find. We enjoyed getting out of the car for a few minutes on a long trip. Will stop again in the winter and hopefully be able to see and access the pond.
