This small pet-friendly trail is a great trail for a quick hike in a peaceful setting that wraps around small ponds prefect for fishing and has Pine Creek tricking throughout.
The 1.0 mile trail is a mixture of nature trails, sand, shredded bark and boardwalks that connect multiple wetland observation decks.
They have a few picnic tables and bench seats along the path if you want to take a rest and enjoy the scenery.
Stu Visser often floods during heavy rain and after the snow has melted. So you may want to bring some waterproof boots if you are hiking in the spring.
