Overview

Well-maintained trails that are wide and have medium to light traffic. No tree coverage, so direct sunlight.

Need to Know

Free parking, public bathrooms and Pelican Cafe next door.

Description

The descent doubles as an uphill trail for mountain bikers, and it's uneven in parts. The end of the run meanders through an organic farm so there are a few deer fences with gates that you must latch closed after passing through.
