Paved asphalt with sections of hard packed surface, mostly flat.

It’s so close to the city, yet so far away. Once you’re immersed in the trail, the hustle and bustle of the city falls away and you’re greeted by tree lined paths, ponds, streams, fern and moss covered trails and natural beauty. You’ll see people jogging, cycling, running and walking – all soaking up the serene beauty. There are many lagoons along the way and if it’s a nice day, take a swim, it’s guaranteed to be refreshing. Whatever activity you choose to do – it will be a spectacular outing.
