A nice country park bordering a lake
 | Basic Conditions:
 | Trailer parking on a U-shaped pull off
area accessed from a two lane country road. They say that there is room for about 5
two-horse trailers. Four would fit better.
|
|
The
crescent shaped parking area off of Martz Road makes for easy in and out. |
| Features approximately 3.5 miles of
hardpacked dirt trails through a variety of flat to gently rolling terrain passing through
pine forest and hardwood forest areas. Much of the trail borders a lake. There
are two distinct and well marked trail areas.
|
| A good park for observing wildlife,
especially birds. There is ample evidence of beavers in the area as well.
|
|
Looking out from
the trailers, enter the southern part of the trail by crossing Martz Road and heading
toward the sign and gate to your right. |
|
| Potential Hazards:
| Hikers unfamiliar with horses.
|
| Bicycle riders
|
 |
The northern part
of the trails is accessed directly from the trailer parking area. |
Good footing and
shady trails make this a nice summer destination. |
|
|
| Rules & Restrictions:
| Stay on marked trail system; do not ride
on cropland or tree plantations.
|
| Cross streams only at designated areas.
