This place is beautiful and just slightly challening for an afternoon stroll. I spent 2 hours here and hardly used the same trail twice!

Its a nice nature preserve, not as busy as some of the others nearby, but not as well maintained (fair bit of trash around). Its has some woodsy trails and a couple picnic tables which is nice.

Very nice trails there. Construction going on so you have to go through Wintergreen entrance and only a handful of cars will fit.

This is a fantastic place to either hike or mountain bike. Plenty of paths to explore and its all in close proximity to the highway and many different businesses. We usually go in the morning and its not too busy.

If you’re wanting to hike a rural trail, this spot is great! Some trails can be pretty steep and rocky, so be careful with which paths you decide to take. And make sure to take a picture of the map before you go! There are trail markers on the ground, so be on the lookout in case you get turned around.

Its a good place for a short, none intensive hike. Its easy to get to. The signs along the trail are lacking so I would recommend taking a picture of the map near the entrance to prevent from getting lost. While hiking, I got off the path or mildly lost a few times since it was my first time here. But its not big and has a main road along side it to always be able to get back to the entrance. Its dog friendly.

Easy parking. Nice trails. Trash cans at picnic were overflowing. Can do mountain bikes on those trails. Lots of trail options. My wife and I had fun.

Very hard to follow. Recommend you go with someone it take a hard copy of the map and ride it slowly a couple of times. Fun terrain - confusing layout.

Our favorite place to hike with our dogs. Well maintained trails that offer a respite from traffic and city life. Not crowded at all. We can usually let our dogs off leash.

Great trails went down all of them with my dog and girlfriend only down side was a little trash and no signs to tell you what trails are what only small rocks that I saw when I was leaving. Other than that great way to spend the day looking at nature... also saw a snake so be careful walking the trails!

Not a bad, but trails were overgrown and need more bench.

Gave it 4 stars because of the size. Its a small nature preserve with trails but very peaceful and nice for quick hikes.

Great fun! Went biking here little over a year ago. Plan on going back soon and hiking the trails with my new puppy. Only downside to this place is understanding which trails are meant for hiking or biking. You really cant tell until its already too late and youre carrying your bike up a hill thats impossible to climb. Other than that though, absolutely beautiful place. Really peaceful and serene. One of my favorite spots is where I took the picture at. I rode the same trail for about 3-4 hours straight.

This trail is a great little break away from society. If u walk quietly, u can hear the trees and nature.

We just discovered this place after driving past it for 4 years. Is surprisingly long for the small space. Im thankful to have a less crowded option when Cedar Ridge is full

Nice trails for a walk, or biking if you watch for others. Nothing amazing unless youve the passion to unlock the child within. Trash, bullet holes and other abuse is always a possibility at good trails... but i dont want a trail treated for natures dangers. Last time i went with my children, many parts were infested with spider eggs, and im happy with that.

Came to ride my bike because it was listed as a bike trail, but it’s only a bike trail if you are an experienced mountain bike rider which I am not! Lol. It was a nice run.

Nice little trail to walk, ride a bike or even pray. Thats what I do. Mountain biking there can get a little rough, new riders beware.
