This place is beautiful! The trails are nicely marked, although there were some blowdowns where I had to navigate around. Make sure you hike all the way to the end and up to see a beautiful gorge view. Awesome place!

A beautiful, serene woodland area with a multitude of microhabitats. Old growth and hemlock forests are home to many bird and amphibians. There are a handful of different well marked trails to explore. Well they're well marked yes, trails? Maybe that's debatable. There are some areas you're just walking around tall grass or muddy wetlands following the markers. I personally enjoyed the natural feel tho. Overall one of the better trail systems in the area. Will be back.

Great place to hike have good trails to walk with different difficulty levels and longer miles hiked. Good place to get out and hike with your family or friends and enjoy the views and enjoy nature itself. Would recommend it to outdoor enthusiasts!

I couldn't post all the pictures I took, but there are a lot of down trees on the trails and the blue trail is overgrown with weeds and brush but other than that I had a great hike. Only did the white, blue and orange trail so far this year!

Such a great place to hike. Keep your head up and you'll easily be able to keep on the trail.

Great hiking trails and views of the river and gorge. There are several trails to pick from but I recommend the white and yellow trails.

The loop is just about 4 miles if you explore to the falls and Bear point.

There is a bit of up and down on the trails and on the day I visited a number of downed trees that you will need to navigate along the trail.

Additionally, be prepared for a water crossing. The water is normally very shallow but you will get your feet wet.

Be careful when crossing the bridge as it does have a bit of a lean to it.

1st time. Didn't have much time, i kind of just ran through it. Nice leg burning trail, muddy at some point at hill bottoms, with a few streams running through it. The ridge is a bit narly, if not careful can take a tumble off the cliff.
