Reviewed 2026-10-22. Township confirms pavement, nonmotorized use and dawn-to-dusk access. Ongoing sidewalk connections are projects rather than proof of a complete separated regional loop. Dog-park seasonal toilet dates do not guarantee facilities at the Irish Road start. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
