Nice place to go at lunch time and unwind.
Nice trail, easy to walk, pretty well maintained. Offers different trails to take from the one point so you can go up and see views or just keep going on the rail trail.
Nice variety of hiking trails...rail trail...mountain views...water features.
Nice wide path that can also be used for bicycles. Lots of shade and streams near by.
This railroad-turned-trail has two separate parking lots, each of which has a barrier gate. "South" parking lot is accessible from Waterloo Road.
