Great place for a fall Sunday afternoon hike. Take the dog, your kids (get them off the couch or iPhone) and get outside!

Beautiful park. There's a wide variety of trails for any level of experience. Many of the trails are suitable for cycling as well. There's often a lot of dogs on the main trails.
