This is the place to go for a nice, quiet afternoon. You can see plenty of wildlife when on the trail: eagles, owls, woodpeckers, rainbow trout, turtles, brown water snakes, beavers, storks, and more! The water can be very cold, but is perfectly clear in most places.<\/p>\n

This is a fairly easy and flat ride. There is no motor vehicle traffic on the trail.<\/p>\n
