Great place to go hiking! I went on a Wednesday morning, and there was nobody else at the preserve. Hikes are easy to moderate, watch your footing with the many roots protruding in the trail. Trails are well marked and easy to follow. Dont blink or you might miss the turn off into the preserve. I used Google Earth street view to show me some landmarks to watch for when approaching the turnoff.

Love it. Nice well maintained trail w forest and fields and stream. Creek is deep enough to cool off in some spots.

Great hike! Trails are marked very well. Since this is a walk in the woods youll be in the shade almost the entire time. Watch out for the poison ivy and be prepared to check for ticks

Beautiful hiking experience! There are several loops to accommodate those who want a stroll vs. those who would like a more extensive hike. The trails are a great challenge for trail running, too.

Once you finally find the place you will most likely have it all to yourself or with few passerby’s. It’s a well marked and maintained trail and you’ll find that the waterfalls are just around every corner. Great spots to see the water and just relax. My friend and I both brought our dogs and we spent about 3 hours hiking here. Bring lots of water and don’t rush thru it. It’s beautiful and deserves to be seen!

This is a nice place to hike. There is a foot trail as well as a riding trail for horses. The foot trail is divided into two halves, which are each a little over two miles, with over four miles of hiking altogether that is slightly hilly. The creek is lovely. Not too many people on the trails. Easy-moderate hike.

Really nice little place. 3/4 mile gravel road was pretty rough but my little Nissan made it through. The trails are well-marked. There is a map in the kiosk at the parking lot. The forest is pretty young but there is a great diversity of flora. The falls are modest, but nice. There are a few benches around, including one right down by the water. Apparently you can ride a mountain bike here, but there are some pretty big roots.
