Nice hiking trails and area. Never been here before and enjoyed it thoroughly. Trails are definitely easy to moderate.
A lovely set of trails leading to an old water filled quarry with Beaver dens and to a spectacular overlook. A great place for birders.
This was a nice little hike that reminded me of sourlands mountain trails. We did the out and back, which is different than the typical loops we do. The trail was varied enough to make the entire hike - both there and back - engaging physically. I did expect more going on - there were cute moments with boulders and little streams and the ridge was nice but more petite than expected. We met a kind pair of bird watchers at the top but otherwise saw no one. Would’ve enjoyed a dip in the lake at the end - we went on a humid 90 ° day! The bugs were intolerable for most of the hike until a breeze picked up.
There’s a porta potty at the lot, then you walk back up the weird bridge where cars are likely to driving. The trail markers can be very sparse at times, I clipped my phone onto my chest strap for easy access. I’d recommend downloading the map for this trail in case of service issues.
Decent hike if you don’t want to drive 2 hours from the shore, but more of a one and done for me personally.

Good hike. We did the orange trail up to the overlook. View was good but the ladybugs drove us away. I sure it only happens a few times a year.
Beautiful view! Only about a mile each way. The way is easy enough but a bit rocky
The colored code paths changes quickly. Started out orange them briefly yellow (there a beautiful still pond/lake) then white then back to orangish-red which is where ultimate view is located. So breathtaking. Said ''omg'' and ''oh wow'' so many times.
Good place to bike but not hike. From what I saw, mountain biking trail is much more better description. Check the pictures before you go hiking here....
