Surface and effort
Crushed-stone main park greenway; use only when dry and firm. Short park outing with bank and access transitions; no measured maximum slope. Choose an earlier return if a section is uncomfortable.
Crossings and shared use
Yield at park activity areas and stay on developed paths. The separate wetland trail’s unbridged creek crossing is excluded. Yield to pedestrians, keep right, and slow at blind corners. Stop at barriers; never use a traffic-road detour to bypass a trail closure.
Hours, costs and access
Choose daylight and follow posted park and trail hours. No casual trail-use tariff established in the reviewed sources; posted parking and admission terms govern.
Reviewed 2026-10-22. Current partner GIS classifies the main park route as a developed multi-use greenway and identifies parking. Its separate nature-trail feature describes a foot creek crossing; that feature is not adopted as a bicycle outing. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
Map and Directions
Use the named public start and its posted parking signs. The map reference identifies the facility or selected trail area; it is not a surveyed parking stall or navigable route line. Bicycle and e-bike rules can differ; only ordinary bicycle use is established unless noted.
