About this park

A former dairy farm with rolling open fields, a pond, and well-marked trails that wind past the historic farmhouse. Mary's Trail and Alice's Loop carry rocky, root-heavy footing and some elevation change, all signed by difficulty. The west end of the loop runs close enough to I-40 that traffic noise carries.
