  This place is amazing. You can catch some fish and relax or explore many of the trails. There are super easy trails and then there is a trail that is 6 miles long and will really challenge you. If you like nature then this is the place for you.

  I had a great time here with my girlfriend. We walked a few trails through the forest and spent time sitting by the lake enjoying the warm weather and view. This place is beautiful and some might be offended by the graffiti we found located at a pavilion on property but I found it to be entertaining and some of it was inspirational. Plenty of others out and about enjoying what the forest had to offer. I'll be back to walk more of the trails we did not explore!

  The Scott's Gap Trail in Jefferson Memorial Park is a super awesome hiking trail that gives you some seriously breathtaking views of the hills and valleys around it. It's not too easy but not too hard either, with a little bit of rocky terrain to add some fun to the hike. You'll also spot lots of birds and animals along the way, making it a really cool experience for anyone who loves being out in nature!

  The Welcome Center is the perfect place to start your visit to Jefferson Memorial Forest. There are trail maps, public restrooms, souvenirs, insect repellent, and outdoor picnic tables in the shade. You can get trail recommendations from the very helpful staff. On Thursday, June 9, 2022, the temperature was 70 degrees with low humidity and bright, sunny skies. From the Welcome Center,I took the Yost Ridge Trail to the Mitchell Lake connector trail and the round trip was 3 to 3 1/2 miles or about 1 1/2 hours. This moderate trail was relatively easy to hike with up and down sections and not much traffic. I passed a couple with two dogs, six solo hikers, and a vacation bible study group. The lake is scenic and the day I visited, there were four canoes with kids learning to paddle. Near the lake, there are two picnic tables and a trash barrel. The trail is shaded the entire way. If you get the trail map at the Welcome Center, it's easy to know where you are on the trail. The forest and facility are quite clean. Ample free parking is available at the Welcome Center.

  Great place to camp close to the city! Sites are spread apart nicely so you have some privacy. Port-a-potties were clean (considering that they are port-a-potties) and easy to walk to. Water spicket was easy to walk to. Hiking trails easy to get through from campsites. I loved our site (I think it was Family site #4). Our site was grassy and there was a nice bit of grass right across the road for our son to play on. The tent pad was in good shape with small pea gravel. There was a blue bird box on the fence across the road with a family of blue birds who would visit us at our site. In the woods we came across a black snake sunning on a log and a turtle. Birds and bird sounds were plentiful. It was just a beautiful place. One thing to note - planes do fly over from the airport. It not all the time and the height of the plane depends on the weather and such. Didn't bother us at all, but just wanted to throw that tidbit of info out as some people might not like that.
