Join me and my dogs on a new hike we will discover together. It's approximately 2.6-4-mile starting at Walnut Grove Park Trail & adding the Twin Oaks golf course trail. which should make it close to 4+ mi. If you need to turn back after the 2.6 mi, let me know. The park features many amenities, including bathrooms, picnic areas, and perimeter trails almost three miles long. There is a large parking lot at the park's north end, and it is easy to spot the paved multi-use trail adjacent to a dirt bridle trail, both of which circle the park. This loop passes by a mix of business buildings, ball fields, and wetlands.
Highlights include a well-groomed, wide trail with nice views. Challenges are urban sections and navigation around a school. It’s recommended to go early for a peaceful experience. There's some shade along the golf course trail but plan for sunny sections, Bring plenty of water for yourself and your dog and wear sun protection.
If you're participating in the Alphabet challenge this qualifies!
