Not only can you enjoy these trails, but your dog and horse are also allowed, provided they are tethered to you with a leash or lead.

With such a rich environment, there is so much wildlife to catch on camera if you are patient enough to spot it. These animals are usually great at hiding!

The trail is best used from March to October and has wide paths but isn’t really wheel accessible. The length makes it perfect for a family hike, and the beauty means you can come back anytime.
