All this time here and never visited. I remember dropping brush here years ago and figured thats what it was - an old brush dump. Was I surprised. What a wonderful piece of land!

Sycamore land trust is the bomb. Beautiful area, well marked trail. Shorter walk nice for a quick jaunt.

Nice trail. Marked well, easy to follow. My little guy loved finding the arrows as we went. Starts on a mowed path and progresses through the forest. My 4 year old hiked it with us, nothing too difficult. Slight inclines in places. Wonderful scenery. Not a lot of parking. Definately take bug spray.

No parking lot, have to park on the road side. About two trails one turns left and goes down to the road, near little lakes, and up back to the gate, all about 40 minutes. Another goes right from the gate, up hill, its longer, about a hour plus.

Beautiful hike through the woods with a nice change in elevation but nothing too difficult. Just avoid the pond area at the bottom unless youre willing to deal with ticks. Lots of ticks.

A mostly wooded, slightly hilly preserve that recently got a significant expansion to the trail system. A large pond is on the south side of the preserve which offers great wildlife viewing opportunities. The wooded trails are narrow but clear. Some of the non-wooded trails are grassy and when I was there in mid-July 2017, they had not been mown for a while, so there was some pretty tall grass to wade through. As ever - do a thorough tick check.

Solid hiking trails. Not much more than some woods and an old cemetery for sites of interest. Nice change in elevation and easy trails to follow.
