Enjoyed the quick down and back on this clean trail with pretty views.
Very good trail there is a way to get to starting point atLindsay drive all the way to Anderson point park just have to view this map to get around the road closures lots a scenic views
Such a pretty trail! Highly recommend. And it was virtually people-free. On the unlaced section it was super quiet, minus the bird sounds. Very peaceful.
We started at Annie Jones park and followed the trail to Gatehouse Dr, then highland trail and picked the trail back up for a nice loop. Well maintained path with a variety of landscapes that keep it interesting.
Drove out there with the kids a couple weeks ago and we couldn't even access the trail because it was a pond.
