The trail is not that long, although there are several paths that loop around and connect back with one another and you can walk multiple loops if you want to go further. We went on a warm day and were grateful for the tree cover that helped provide shade. The trail has a slight incline and decline at times. It is very green and has a decent amount of trees along the paths. In the beginning you will have the option to cross over a bridge with water flowing underneath and part of the trail also has a view of the golf course. I loved that there were red benches to rest along the way and red trash bins. We enjoyed our walk here with our dog.

One full pass on all spurs will put you around the 1mi mark. We knock out 2 full passes & 1 extra loop, just to hit our minimum of 2.5mi. As soon as you start your trek, you find yourself enveloped in the songs of the many birds filling the trees around you. This continues throughout. Unfortunately, over half the time, you'll also hear traffic passing by. You'll have the option to cross the creek twice on a bridge/dock, with a 25% grade. Here you might see turtles and/or ducks. The paths are very well groomed, with mostly level gravel covered paths. The grass along-side is mowed down about 18", lowering the chances of ticks hitching a ride from brushing against overhanging foliage. The trail is open for snowshoeing in winter as well & is maintained by the Minot Parks. Parking os limited tho the area is rarely heavily used.

The lot is well-lit, has several accessible parking spots & a security cameras. The paved trail is wide, with many benches dotting the path & a picnic table at the main overlook. This one of the few trails that will have snow removed. There is a slight increase in elevation- no matter which way you loop, you'll start with an incline & it's all downhill from there. ; ) It's a nice way to get out & get moving without too much battling the elements.

On Saturday we went tubing, had a great amount of fun then came back on Sunday. We tried snowboarding (spent more time on the ground than boarding).

We went to a tower that is build for visitors to enjoy the scenery from a higher level. Unfortunately the last 30% to get to the top was locked but we could still enjoy the beauty of the area. The trail is perfect for hiking and all you can hear is the wind and crickets. It's far from civilization and that what makes it even more attractive and peaceful! When we wanted to use the washrooms (maybe I should say restrooms! Haha) I noticed it was nice, well maintained and clean which shows the level of care this place gets. You can easily spend hours for hiking just make sure you have water and some protein bars just in case you have a long way back to your vehicle! I highly recommend this place and I'm sure I'll go back there next time I'm in the area! :)
