"There are 2 small trailheads each with their own parking area. One is a very short out and back, about 15 min total. The other is a loop, under 20 min for the whole loop. Short but beautiful, great for a short walk with your dog. No crowds."

"Short loop that is still being reclaimed by nature but this means it's a great place to see banana slugs (I saw 5 in less than 2 hours) mushrooms, moss and lichen, and woodpeckers. Great if you've got an hour to kill and don't wanna go too far out of town."

"Very short trail 1/3 of a mile. Some steep spots. Views of the forest are pretty. It is good if you are walking with a family."
