The trails are popular but not crowded with bikers, runners, strollers fishers etc. (I go earlier in the morning.) Great to see people enjoying themselves! The trails were obviously not made to promote social distance, but you do the best you can, it’s not that hard to keep do with everyone going about at different paces.
