About this park

A west-side forest reserve attached to Eberwhite Elementary, with a 1.5-mile loop on dirt singletrack and varied terrain that feels deeper into the woods than its in-town location suggests. Dogs walk leashed and pickup is the rule; the trail is unpaved end to end.

Before you go

Watch tree roots on the trail, footing is uneven and gets slick after rain. Standing water and mud are common in spring, so save this for drier days if you'd rather not rinse the dog at the car.
