Beautiful area. If you want to enjoy a walk with family or pets it’s ideal. If you want to run it at your own pace is great. You can start in their 3 locations and walk or run at your convenience. My favorite is the Blue trail is a 5 miles path with beautiful scenery and creeks. With few elevations. Overall is a wonderful experience. I love coming as often as possible. I’m 45 minutes away though. Worth the drive.
