Running south you can run to Lake Meridian and back which is 10 miles round trip. There are hills and flat areas but what I like is the variety of scenery. There are forest areas and wetland areas and the trail isn't overcrowded. It is fully paved and peaceful. There is usually enough parking but gets more full on sunny days later in the day. A morning run has never been a problem finding parking.

The trail (non-paved) to the beach is moderately steep. Loose gravel in some points so be careful. It's pretty narrow too. The paved walkway backup is also steep and will get the cardio going. Along the trail are many picnic tables to sit, eat a snack, take some pics, and catch your breath. Only downside is parking is limited. Go early if you can. Overall highly recommend.

As we walked, there were times we speed walk or get the hell out of there as there were noises the squirrels made so we got scare and speed walk the hell out of there which was pretty cool and adventurous. There were bars so we just do some pull ups. As we walked there was an end point where we can see the many trees as I'll post a picture and it looks nice and foggy which looks very cool. Like we were in a huddle island (it was very cold so... eh). As a hint do not take this when it's raining yesterday or it's wet cause man, me and my friend also slip a lot XD.

We were told about this trail by a local who walked through the Ghost Town several years ago. This…read moresounded like a fun adventure so we took a hike. First: the parking area is chained shut and 'tow' signs are in the drive way area that leads to the parking lot. We drove over a one-way bridge (traffic signals control traffic direction) and found a parking area on the right. This area also has the same 'tow' signs but the lot had several vehicles and many people were in the area so we parked. It's a shady lot with a spring water dispenser straight from the ground. (A sign asks that you Venmo money for any water you take from the Spring) We walked back over the bridge, past the gate and onto the trail. Second: the initial hike is a wide incline covered in gravel. This leads you up and around to a Coal Car where the trail divides. The Ghost Town is to your right. The mine shaft and grave yard are to your left. Both trails continue to lead up. One of the hike pages I looked over described this as an 'easy' trail for kids. Regarding climbing over obstacles, the path is clear and it is an easy hike if you go toward the ghost town. However, the grade is pretty steep in that direction. The direction of the mine however has several trees down and most we had to climb over. The trail there is not well maintained. The Ghost Town: This pathway is mostly wide and gravel covered making it the easier of the two trails. We found one foundation covered in undergrowth on the right that you can climb the steps onto a small foundation. You have to really be looking to see the steps. On the left is what looks almost like a retaining wall on the hillside. That's all we saw of a 'town'. The path continues to climb up and around. It may lead out to the road on the opposite side of the hill but we did not walk all the way and I make that suggestion based on maps. This trail is mostly full sun. The Mine Shaft and Graveyard: We came back and took the left branch of the trail where it divides at the Coal Car. This trail runs from wide and gravel covered to single file while walking through raspberry bushes (prickers). Thankfully we had rain jackets on so those tiny thorns did not snag our shirts and I kept my hands above my head to save my skin. Be prepared for that. This trail is mostly shady. It takes a while to reach the mine shaft which includes a plaque with some mine information. The shaft is quite large, goes straight down, is surrounded by a metal railing and topped with a lattice of rebar. The sign suggest you drop a rock in to hear how deep the shaft is, however as this must have been done hundreds of times, rocks nearby are scarce. Bring your own rock with you. Once you have spent all the time you'd like at the mine shaft, take the trail to the left of the mine shaft plaque to continue on to the graveyard. There are a couple of places along the way that will make you wonder 'is this it?' It's not. Just keep going. It's another longish hike in a more gentle upward direction. The path veers off to your right at several points, one of which leads to a wet low area, but overhead here you will see remnants of some coal car rails. There is a trail leading up a steep incline that will take you to the top of the rails if you'd like a closer look. The 'up' is easier than the 'down' on this steep pathway. The graveyard is further ahead, past this coal car rail. Just keep walking. You will see on your right, at the base of a tree, a toppled over headstone that looks like a small obelisk. This, and a wooden sign erected by a local group stating they fenced in a grave, are the main visible signs of the graveyard. The area is completely overgrown, including the fenced in grave. After climbing over trees and fending off thorny raspberry bushes (without the joy of eating some of the berries) this was a disappointing hike. The trail ends here. Some of the downed trees have had a path chopped or cut out so you can walk around or through them but most your scramble over. I am not sure what is happening with this land or why the lot is closed with no explanation sign. I could not find information in a search of local news sites. I do wonder however if it has anything to do with a downtrodden looking 'resort' on the other side of the bridge. They offer you access to a waterfall for a small fee. I believe you can access this waterfall from the chained lot if you take the trail directly down to the river on the left. But this is just speculation. I did not take them up on their offer. If you are here for a nice, uphill hike, take the path to the right at the coal car and enjoy a wider path with some views of the surrounding area. That is a pleasant hike in and of itself. Just don't expect to see a 'ghost town' and you'll enjoy this hike. Happy hiking!

While traffic can be heard, it's overall a quiet place to go and the birds seem to enjoy hanging around - definitely awesome during the Spring when everything is growing and green and the animals have their adorable little babies.

There's another trail by the name of Interurban Trail in Kent. Technically I'm not sure if it's considered all one trail or not. Perhaps it doesn't really matter as long as you enjoy them. For this reviewing experience I'm covering the south trail. I tried to find this trail once before and my GPS wanted to take me to the trail in Kent. After looking at the map and struggling to find it I moved on to some other trails to explore on. I used the AllTrails app on my second attempt to find this trail and it was so much easier to find going off of that map on the trail app. I took my electric scooter out for this trail and enjoyed it very much! The trail doesn't have a lot of steep hills or slopes so I got a fair amount of riding in rather than an abundance of walking! Scenery here isn't too bad. The trail goes through a wooded area the whole time you are on it but no unique or dramatic features along the way but being out here on this trail is still nice. Some tree roots make bumps in various parts of the trail so cyclists and people like me on scooters should probably be cautious of that. Nice trail for the Milton community!
