Trail Notes:
This trail is well maintained by a local saddle club. It's longer and better marked than it had been in the past. There are downfall and creeks to negotiate, but no other real hazards. Some areas of the trail are out in open fields and can become hot in the summer, as well as overgrown. You might want to call ahead before coming to this trail during the wet weather season because sometimes the roads and low water bridge leading to the trail and trailhead are flooded

Hikers and hunters.
