Beautiful little trail around a wetland area. Mostly gravel trails with some little bridges—flat. Saw a bunch of Great Egrets (video). I went for a run in the morning in the middle of July and the only downside were some insects.
Great, easy trail. You can make it long or short. You can see God's beautiful creation on display everywhere you walk!
It's a great trail. The parking lot is at the end of Eagle Way, just down from Jamestown HS. I am at the HS a lot and use the trail to get to the Capital Trail to ride while my kid's at practice.
Took a little walk down the trail today. Lots of little plaques along the way that you can read to get a sense of the history of the place. Mostly gravel trails, but we're wide enough for people to easily pass each other. What's the dead of winter but I can imagine that the area would be nice and Lush and green during spring and summer. There was a little Pond that I walk down to and saw a really large Blue Heron and got to see him fly off, which was very cool. They do have one little picnic table and a porta potty and looks like enough parking areas for maybe 30 cars or so. You need a good place to take a walk or jog I think this would do well for you. Was very clean and tidy well kept.
I have been enjoying this trail for years. The environment seems to change and there is hardly a shortage of wildlife. There is a cool pedestrian bridge that overlooks the surrounding wetlands where you can bird watch or observe the turtles laze on the logs. A great place to run, walk, both, but please do not ride bikes. This trail is strictly for running and/or walking.
