WARNING:
There is also a Park Lyndon South about 500 feet away -- we will not be there.

DOGS:
On leashes are allowed

BATHROOMS:
At the trailhead only -- but trees are all around and there will be plenty of time to visit them

COSTS:
There is no charge to park at Park Lyndon North.

QUESTIONS/COMMENTS:
I am happy to answer your questions but pleasantly note that I will not be able to respond to your last-minute-oh-crap-I-am-lost message. So, give yourself extra time to zoom past the place, panic a bit, turn around a mile later, and head back.

See you on the trail,
Charlie
