Trails · Park-wide
Walk out, wander far, be back for lunch
The Bluff Loop, Creek Side, and Ridge Line trails connect every loop of the park, with spur trails to the sunrise point and the heron rookery. Trails are blazed, mapped, and checked daily — grab a paper map at check-in or follow the green diamonds.
